Flavor Roadmap

First Third

Black pepper uppercut fades into roasted nuts and mineral earthiness. Draws leave a cayenne tingle on the lips. Tight ash holds 1.5"+ despite medium smoke output. Watch that box-press - rotates naturally between fingers during contemplative pauses.

Mid Section

Espresso crema sweetness emerges, backed by cured leather. Retrohale reveals baking spices (cinnamon stick > nutmeg). Burn line stays razor-straight. Strength accumulates subtly - newbies might feel first nicotine whispers here.

Final Stretch

Cocoa powder dryness takes charge, with lingering black cherry skin tartness. Last inch brings charred oak and cumin-like warmth. Dump before the nub unless you enjoy vitamin N headaches. Pairing tip: washes best with dark rum or cola-bitter IPAs.

Head-to-Head Comparison

  • My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo (6.1"x52) - Similar nicotine kick, trades mineral notes for sweeter coffee-chocolate
  • Padron 1964 Exclusivo (5.5"x50) - Milder strength, silkier smoke texture with cedar accents
  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature (6"x47) - Slimmer ring gauge highlights baking spices over earth tones
  • Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado (6.5"x52) - More approachable sweetness, less Dominican funk
