Burn Breakdown

First Third (0-15 mins)

Immediate cedar punch with coffee bean sharpness. Black chocolate bitterness lingers under faint cinnamon swirls. Medium smoke output - thick enough for ring blowing but won't choke bystanders.

Middle Third (15-25 mins)

Caramel sweetness barges in uninvited, wrestling with earthy Dominican filler. Toasted almond notes emerge alongside building nicotine. Watch that burn line - tends to canoe in humid weather.

Final Third (25-35 mins)

Black pepper uppercut to the sinuses. Charred oak dominates as wrapper oils concentrate. Residual dried fruit sweetness saves the day. Nub warning: tar buildup hits at 1-inch mark.

Similar Sticks

  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story (4"×49) - Milder red fruit focus, less pepper bite
  • Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu No.5 (4.4"×42) - More Nicaraguan tang, minimal sweetness
  • Illusione Rothchildes (4.5"×50) - Zesty citrus contrast, brighter acidity
  • My Father Le Bijou 1922 (4.5"×50) - Heavier espresso bitterness, fuller body

Pro Tips

Dry-box for 2 hours pre-smoke to prevent burn issues. Pairs best with aged rum - the sweeter profile tames the pepper beast. Newbies: smoke slow or face nicotine spins. Boxworthy for value-focused aficionados wanting complexity in small format.
