This panetela cigar presents a rugged appearance and is characterized by a decidedly firm resistance when drawing. The smoke is dense and earthy, with a pronounced nuttiness and a subtle toasted quality underlying the flavor profile. Notes of freshly roasted coffee beans are evident, complemented by a complex array of flavors including coffee, cocoa, and a touch of brightness. As the smoke unfolds, it reveals a rich and varied palette featuring milk chocolate, citrus, and mocha, alongside deeper notes of chocolate, creamy textures, and subtle hints of leather, vanilla, and spice. The flavor profile is further nuanced by the presence of nuts, baking spices, and bitter chocolate, with additional subtle hints of orange liqueur, smoky BBQ, buttery shortbread, citrus peel, ginger, and a hint of tarragon. Floral, tobacco, and mint undertones also make appearances, adding depth and complexity to the overall smoking experience.
