A small Hoyo de Monterrey emerges. It feels damper than it should be. This is because the cigar has been stored in the tubo for about 4 days. The moisture from the fine truffles has transferred to the paper inside. Leave the paper in, as it releases the flavour of the truffles into the cigar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pairing-Truffes-und-Zigarre-3.jpg\" alt=\"Pairing truffles and cigar\" class=\"wp-image-44311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pairing-Truffes-und-Zigarre-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pairing-Truffes-und-Zigarre-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pairing-Truffes-und-Zigarre-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pairing-Truffes-und-Zigarre-3-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>The first puffs are slightly sweet, bittersweet and have a slight rum flavour.

Indeed: in the first few puffs, it tastes slightly bitter-sweet like truffles. This flavour quickly fades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pairing with the truffles is top class. I tasted the rum truffles first (I'll enjoy the whisky truffles another day). I have to say: the result is a product that is the very best. The truffles have a subtle rum flavour. They are NOT very sweet (which I very much appreciate) and they are creamy, slightly nutty, flavoursome... a masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first heard about this project in a conversation with nanimanu in 2020 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/glanzloser-humidor-von-nanimanu\/\">see interview<\/a>), I said: \u201eBut they have to be high-end truffles and not those other disgusting things that only taste like disgusting sugar.\u201c Oh yes, not only high-end truffles are planned, but even top-class high-end truffles.
