Course of enjoyment and conclusion

I have just enjoyed a wonderful cigar where the first puff immediately released a hint of pepper and awakened the senses. The pleasant light spiciness was perfectly balanced by the light woody aroma that soon became noticeable. The flavors were wonderfully balanced and gave the cigar a very good balance.

What really impressed, however, was the retronasal perception of roasted aromas of light wood, which blended perfectly with the other flavors and added an extra dimension to the cigar. It was a nice experience to feel these flavors on the tongue and in the nose.

However, the draw resistance was too light, which resulted in the cigar being drawn through somewhat quickly. Although this is a minor criticism, it can be a disturbing factor for some smokers. But this in no way detracted from the flavor on the tongue or retronasally.

During my test of three samples, I also noticed a few problems with the burning behavior. Two examples had a slight wave burn, but this corrected itself and had no major impact on the smoking experience.

However, there was also one specimen with a crooked burn that had to be corrected with the flame. This can be a little annoying, but it's not really a big deal as long as you hold the flame carefully and evenly to the cigar.

Overall, however, this burn did not affect the flavor and aroma of the cigar. The flavors were beautifully matched and offered a perfect balance of pepper and wood notes that blended with roasted flavors to create an added dimension.

Despite the occasional wavy burn or crooked burn, this cigar is still a good choice for anyone looking for a cigar with a balanced flavor and aroma. And it is uncomplicated.

As usual: the cigars are wrapped in cellophane

The use of cellophane as packaging for cigars has several advantages, particularly with regard to the storage of cigars. Cellophane prevents cigars from losing their aromas and flavors.

A cigar test is subjective. The taste of a cigar is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room influences the taste experience. The taste nuances described here therefore do not have to correspond to one's own impressions.
