First Third: Cream bomb! Vanilla pudding texture meets cashew nuttiness. Retrohale delivers white pepper tingle without bite.
Middle Third: Baking spices emerge - think cinnamon toast. Smoke output doubles while maintaining cool combustion. Watch for tight ash that holds 1.5"+.
Final Third: Development surprises with graham cracker sweetness. Not a nicotine heavyweight - perfect for 45min work breaks. No relights needed in testing.
Rolled in the Dominican powerhouse Tabacalera de García (home to Montecristo). Grupo de Maestros blending team uses aged Dominican fillers with Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut wrapper. Cuban heritage meets modern consistency - their 92-rated construction shows in every draw.
