Robust

A robust experience, beginning with creamy white pepper and a medium-plus body before transitioning into a malty, wheat-forward profile with a brief dry texture. The final third introduces leather and a peppery finish, rounded out by a subtle sappy sweetness for a well-balanced conclusion.

OverviewA bold and structured cigar that starts with creamy white pepper, develops malty and wheat notes in the second third, and finishes with leather, spice, and a hint of sap. The transition from spice to smooth malt and finally to a rich, peppery leather makes for a dynamic and engaging smoking experience.
