This is an all-Nicaraguan puro blended by Matt Booth and AJ Fernandez that delivers a bold, complex profile.
Flavor Profile
• Pre-Light: Subtle natural sweetness with hints of raisins.
• Initial Draw: Heavy notes of dark earth, roasted espresso, and dark chocolate, accompanied by an opening kick of black pepper and spice.
• Evolution: As the cigar burns, secondary nuances emerge, including cedar, roasted nuts, dry herbs, and baking spices. Some reviews (such as Halfwheel) also note subtle undertones of sourdough bread, toasted grains, and a red pepper retrohale.
