Smoke Journey

The golden-brown wrapper reveals faint oil streaks when rotated under light. Cold draw offers sweet hay notes with a perfect resistance - not too tight, not too loose. Initial puffs deliver smooth cedar and almond butter flavors, the mild smoke barely tickling the palate.

Flavor Evolution

  • First Third: Creamy cashew dominates with wisps of vanilla
  • Middle Third: Baking spices emerge alongside faint apricot undertones
  • Final Third: Develops mild white pepper without harshness

Technical Performance

Draws consistently with medium smoke output. The ash holds firm for 1.5" segments before dropping cleanly. No relights required when smoked at medium pace. Slight tunneling occurs if puffed aggressively, but self-corrects naturally.

Comparables

  • Macanudo Café Hyde Park: 5.5"x49 - Sweeter vanilla profile
  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature: 6"x47 - More nutty complexity
  • Ashton Classic Corona: 5.5"x44 - Butter-forward creaminess
  • RyJ Reserva Real Robusto: 5"x50 - Similar mildness with floral hints

Humidor Notes

Stored at 65% RH for 8 weeks. Tubes maintain perfect moisture but require occasional airing. Pair with light roast coffee to accentuate the nutty notes. Avoid heavy drinks that might overpower subtle flavors.
