It is not a static flavour profile, but a lively interplay that never gets boring. Sometimes the sweetness comes to the fore, then the roasted flavours take over again. It is as if the cigar is communicating with the connoisseur. <strong>and she has a lot to say.<\/strong> Ah, almost forgot: Dark wood is added from the second half onwards.
