2013 Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year

“Slightly pressed with beautiful color, this pyramid-shaped cigar exhibits profound intonations of Cuban coffee and earth balanced by floral notes and tied together by a cedary woodiness. Tasty and harmonious.” – Cigar Aficionado (94 Points)

🍂 Flavour Journey:

1. First Third:

• Mild spice and gentle pepper to start

• Opens with cedar, nutmeg, and a toasty tobacco sweetness

• A creamy texture with hints of light coffee and biscuit

2. Second Third:

• Intensifies in flavour but remains smooth

• Earthy richness begins to dominate, accompanied by dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of leather

• Balance of sweet and savoury with cinnamon and light nuttiness (often almond or hazelnut)

3. Final Third:

• Becomes more robust

• Espresso, dark wood, pepper, and sometimes a faint citrus zing

• Complexity increases, with a clean finish and medium-to-full strength crescendo

🥃 Ideal Pairings:

• Aged rum or sherry cask Scotch to match its richness

• Espresso or dark hot chocolate to enhance cocoa notes

• Sweet port or Amarone for special occasions
