The aroma isn’t loud, but it has that comfortable, lived-in quality that makes the space feel settled. It feels less like the start of an event and more like slipping back into a familiar chair. It sends up just enough scent to remind you why you lit a cigar instead of doing one more thing on your list. Nothing big happens in that opening stretch, but it quietly nudges the day a little farther away.
Flavor and Character
Down in the last stretch 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. Near the end the profile narrows down to its core character You’re left more with the memory of the time you spent than any one flavor. A little further along the blend opens up and feels more sure of itself with touches of coffee, dry cocoa, and a bit of wood weaving together. Nothing really jumps out of line; everything just settles into place.
