Flavor Profile

Overall, this cigar combines a variety of flavors throughout the experience, starting with nutty and creamy notes, transitioning into rich cocoa and earthy sweetness, and culminating in a medium+ intensity with lingering saltiness. The construction issues of the wrapper, however, detract from what could have been an even better experience.

Raw Notes

  • Creamy
  • Sweet
  • Light spice
  • Unfortunately I had Pepsi and pizza with this, which overpowered the flavor profile and I wasn't able to break it down
  • Had some 65% dark cocoa chocolate with this
  • Excellent construction
  • Went with a v-cut on this… wishing I had done a straight cut.
  • The wrapper was falling apart at the mouth, annoying
