Skull 77 El Volcano

Goodness me! Another fine cigar from Laurent. Once again, with a format all of his own, he invites us on a journey to Costa Rica to discover new experiences.

Unlit, it offers animal and nutty notes reminiscent of the brand’s early releases. Upon lighting, it reveals aromas of dried fruit and wood, which intensify as the smoke develops, evolving into toasty flavours. Leather and toast join this medley. As the rich, indulgent finish takes hold, delicate notes of freshly baked bread fill the palate.

Its slightly larger-than-average ring gauge (58″) ensures a slow burn without overheating. We recommend savouring this cigar at a leisurely pace during your next relaxing afternoon at the mountain hut, for example.

Notes

A rich, velvety smoke unfolds with pleasant notes of undergrowth and dried fruit. The tasting experience is rounded off in the middle third by toasty and woody aromas, before giving way to a rich, brioche-like finish.

With its pointed tip, it concentrates the aromas and brings out the full potential of the Costa Rican tobaccos.

Pairing

Dark chocolate (77% cocoa and above)

Momentum

When the night seems too short and we need to make it last longer

A cigar-related anecdote

Rolled in Costa Rica, a special mould had to be designed for this extraordinary cigar.

About Cigare Skull 77

It was in Dortmund that the idea for Cigare 77 first took shape in Laurent Taha’s imaginative mind. During a chance encounter with two bikers at the Vegas de Santiago stand, a realisation struck him: whilst cigars have certainly become more mainstream in recent years, with their target audience growing and diversifying… the product itself hasn’t changed much. Still as classic and understated in its presentation.

Bingo! Laurent knows what’s missing from the market. A cigar that breaks the rules of propriety. A good cigar with a rocker look that appeals to this less posh clientele.
