Smoke Session Breakdown

Cold Draw

Pre-light taste reveals damp earth and raisin sweetness. The tight roll requires a proper punch cut - go shallow to maintain draw resistance.

First Third

Initial pepper spice fades quickly into creamy cashew notes. Expect thick smoke output despite small ring gauge. Watch for uneven burn that self-corrects after 5 minutes.

Middle Third

Dominican twang emerges alongside molasses sweetness. Retrohale brings out baking spices - specifically nutmeg and cardamom. Ash holds firm in 1" segments.

Final Third

Strength kicks up with espresso bitterness balancing the sweetness. Mineral notes appear in last inch. Ditch before nub to avoid tar buildup common in small vitolas.

Head-to-Head Comparisons

  • Arturo Fuente Short Story (4"x49): Creamier, less spice
  • Tatuaje Petit Cazadores (4.3"x42): More Nicaraguan pepper punch
  • Illusione Rothchildes (4.5"x50): Brighter citrus notes
  • My Father Le Petit Bijou (4.3"x52): Heavier chocolate density

Ageing Notes

These benefit from 6+ months humidor time. The 2015-release Sungrown blend shows more cedar characteristics when fresh, developing caramelized sugar notes after 12 months. Avoid over-humidifying - keep at 65% RH to prevent tight draws.

Cigar Hacks

  • Pair with Ethiopian coffee to amplify chocolate notes
  • Use single-flame torch for precise heat control
  • Store tins upright to prevent wrapper damage
