Flavor Profile & Palate
- First Third: Prominent cedarwood, creamy and honeyed sweetness, accented by a touch of white pepper spice. Distinct bean notes (cocoa/mocha) stand out, with delicate, smooth smoke and a full, oily texture. Subtle herbal nuances of Cuban tobacco are present in the background.
- Second Third: Roasted coffee, roasted nuts and leather notes gradually emerge, intertwined with vanilla and cinnamon. Well-structured, with a balanced interplay of sweetness and bitterness, rich layers, and abundant smoke production.
- Final Third: Woody and spicy notes become more pronounced, rounded rather than harsh. Cocoa, dry grass and light smoke intertwine, with a clean aftertaste, persistent nutty and creamy notes, and a full, satisfying finish.
