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 wood flavour that soon became apparent. The flavours were wonderfully balanced and gave the cigar a very good balance.

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

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

During my test of three samples, I also noticed a few problems with the burning behaviour. 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 burning behaviour has no influence on the taste and aroma of the cigar. The flavours were beautifully matched and offered a perfect balance of pepper and wood notes that blended with roasted flavours to create an extra 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 flavour 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, especially with regard to the storage of cigars. Cellophane prevents cigars from losing their aromas and flavours.

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