Specifications

Three Acts of Flavor

First Third: Fresh and clear on the cold draw, with a delicate and smooth smoke upon lighting. It features a fresh herbal sweetness and subtle cedar aroma, transitioning into nuanced layers of roasted nuts, akin to the elegant opening of a classic Cuban cigar, with fine and firm ash.

Second Third: Flavors gradually bloom, with fresh herbs naturally blending with nuts and cocoa aromas, presenting complex layers of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, and delicate woodiness. The overall mouthfeel is smooth and rounded, with excellent balance and a pure, long finish.

Final Third: Maintains excellent stability in the latter half, with fuller nut and cedar aromas, while delicate leather and cocoa undertones elegantly emerge. The smoke remains cool and smooth throughout, concluding naturally with a soft and rich woody and nutty finish.

Aging Recommendations

• Ideal Environment: 18–20°C, relative humidity 62–64%
• Special Note: Due to the use of high-quality Aganorsa tobacco, it is recommended to avoid excessive humidity. A stable, slightly drier environment is more conducive to revealing its delicate herbal, nutty, and cedar aromas.
