The Experience
While you’re leaning back a little farther than before the cigar quietly takes control of the pace and the cigar asks for nothing more than a little of your attention. In the final third the blend leans into its darker notes and lets the lighter ones fade back The finish hangs around quietly, not demanding attention but not disappearing either.
