Flavor Journey

First Third

Opens with espresso grounds and charred oak notes. Look for walnut undertones and a black pepper tingle on retrohale. Smoke production stays moderate despite the tight roll.

Middle Third

Molasses sweetness emerges alongside baking spices. The ash holds strong past 1.5 inches - good combustion line though needing one minor touch-up. Watch for gradual nicotine build-up.

Final Third

Cocoa powder dominates as leather notes surface. Last inch brings welcome caramelized sugar hints, though some report increased throat irritation. Average smoke time: 65mins.

Comparable Profiles

  • Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Robusto (5.2"×50) - More cedar-forward, milder nicotine
  • Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado (6.5"×52) - Deeper earth tones, similar construction quality
  • My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo (6.1"×52) - Sharper pepper notes, box-press style

Origins & Construction

Hand-rolled in Esteli's Tabacalera Pichardo factory using:

  • San Andrés Valley wrapper (18-month fermentation)
  • Estelí Jalapa hybrid binder
  • Double ligero fillers from Condega

Box codes show 11-12 months aging pre-shipment. The firm cap punches cleanly - no unraveling issues reported. Stored at 65% RH, these should develop sweeter transitions through 2026.
