Flavor and Character

As the burn evens out you begin to pick up more than just the basic tobacco taste bringing soft sweetness and a bit of dry wood into better focus. It comes across relaxed, more about staying steady than chasing surprises. Somewhere in the middle the smoke feels less like a test and more like company and the cigar asks for nothing more than a little of your attention. After that first inch is gone the flavors start to show more of themselves bringing soft sweetness and a bit of dry wood into better focus. The change is slow, but it makes the cigar feel more complete.

The Experience

Toward the final few draws the flavors pull in tighter and feel more concentrated The finish hangs around quietly, not demanding attention but not disappearing either. Somewhere in the middle the whole thing settles into the kind of rhythm you don’t want to rush and what felt like a quick break stretches naturally into a longer sit.
