Flavor Journey

First Third

Fresh-baked almond cookies dipped in sweet cream. The retrohale reveals a peppercorn kick that’s more tickle than punch.

Middle Third

Cedar planks smeared with mascarpone - the Nicaraguan binder flexes here. Watch for a coffee ground bitterness that needs purge.

Final Third

Mineral water clarity cuts through residual sweetness. White pepper resurgence keeps your tongue awake without overwhelming.

Side-by-Side Comparison

  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story (4.9"x49) - More cocoa in compact format
  • Macanudo Café Gold Robusto (5"x50) - Simpler cream profile, easier draw
  • Rocky Patel Connecticut (5"x50) - Black pepper forward, earthier
  • Perdomo Champagne Epicure (6"x54) - Sweeter but less nuanced

Origin Story

Rolled in Fuente's Dominican Republic factory using Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers aged 4-5 years. Their secret weapon? Double fermentation process that reduces ammonia to near-zero levels. The filler blend combines Piloto Cubano and San Vicente tobaccos for that signature "creamy wood" base.
