Burn Breakdown

First Third

Cedar and roasted cashews lead the charge, with faint honey sweetness clinging to the tongue. Smoke production stays moderate - no cloud-chasing here. The box-press shape delivers consistent burns without canoeing issues.

Mid-Session

Espresso grounds emerge alongside baking spices. Watch for slight tar buildup near the band - a quick purge brings back the caramelized walnut notes. Retrohale reveals white pepper zing.

Final Stretch

Leather and dark cocoa dominate as nicotine strength creeps up. Stop at 1.5" unless you're chasing that nicotine buzz. Lingering black tea aftertaste sticks around longer than your last Tinder date.

Head-to-Head: Nicaraguan Robustos

  • My Father Le Bijou 1922: Same 5"×50 • More espresso bitterness • Higher nicotine kick
  • AJ Fernández New World: 5"×52 • Bolder earth tones • Rougher smoke texture
  • Perdomo Habano Barrel-Aged: 5"×54 • Vanilla sweetness • Bourbon-cask influence
  • Oliva Serie V Melanio: 5"×52 • Silkier draw • Pricier pedigree

Tobacconist Notes

The Jalapa-grown wrapper shows visible toothiness - rub your thumb across the leaf to feel those oil pockets. Our samples smoked best at 65% RH after 60-day rest. Triple cap holds firm through V-cut guillotine slices.
