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.
Tasting notes
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.
