Excalibur 1066
Excalibur 1066 doesn’t make a big scene at first light; it just catches, glows, and lets a curl of warm smoke drift up before you think too hard about it. A soft mix of warm tobacco and light sweetness drifts off the foot as the wrapper warms up. It feels less like the start of an event and more like slipping back into a familiar chair.
Flavor and Character
Once it finds its rhythm the profile stretches into a clearer mix of notes bringing soft sweetness and a bit of dry wood into better focus. It’s not flashy, but it feels honest. Without you really noticing when it happened the whole thing settles into the kind of rhythm you don’t want to rush and the longer you sit with it, the easier it is to forget the clock.
Somewhere in the middle it turns from a simple distraction into something closer to a small ritual and what felt like a quick break stretches naturally into a longer sit. A little further along 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. After that first inch is gone you begin to pick up more than just the basic tobacco taste mixing gentle pepper with calm, roasted undertones. It’s not flashy, but it feels honest.
The Experience
Down in the last stretch the flavors pull in tighter and feel more concentrated It steps away slowly, giving you a few calm breaths after the last bit of ash falls. When the band is getting close to the heat the cigar feels more serious, but it still keeps its composure You’re left more with the memory of the time you spent than any one flavor. As the burn evens out the smoke thickens and carries more weight on the palate with hints of earth and toasted grain sliding in quietly. It’s not flashy, but it feels honest.
