The Basilica C#2 is the most elegant and challenging model in the series to roll. Using the classic 7 1/2 × 38 Lancero gauge, it represents not only the ultimate test of the KBF factory's master craftsmen's skills but also the pursuit of absolute precision in blending. With a ring gauge of only 38, the wrapper-binder ratio plays a dominant role in the flavor contribution. This cigar aims to infinitely concentrate the unique spiciness of the Brazilian Cupra wrapper and the complex citrus notes from the double binder through an extremely narrow burn surface, offering seasoned cigar a silky smooth and highly penetrating sensory journey.

Initial notes: Thanks to the Lancero's slender structure, the smoke is extremely focused upon ignition. The Brazilian Cupra wrapper immediately releases bright aromas of white pepper, hay, and the signature citrus peel. Due to the low smoke output, the flavor is exceptionally delicate and possesses remarkable clarity. Mid-section: As the burn progresses, the support of the double binder begins to emerge. A rich blend of cinnamon, roasted almonds, and a unique, complex sweetness reminiscent of Mediterranean spices unfolds. Despite its slender ring gauge, the multi-national binder provides stable, moderate support, resulting in a lively and elastic texture on the palate. Finish: As we move into the final stages, the flavor profile shifts to deep cedarwood, leather, and a warm, mineral character. Thanks to aged leaves personally selected by Hendrik Kelner Jr., even with the tendency for the lance to heat up significantly later in the season, the smoke maintains remarkable purity, leaving a crisp, clean, and slightly sweet woody finish.

• The pinnacle of Lancero flavor: Due to its extremely narrow ring gauge, this cigar maximizes the aroma characteristics of the Brazilian Cupra wrapper, making it the most sensitive and nuanced in flavor profile of the series.
• Anatomical presentation of the double bead: Within a tiny space of 38 ring diameter, the structure of the Nicaraguan and Dominican double bead remains rigorous, demonstrating the KBF factory's dominance in handling complex physical structures.
• The elegant genes of the Kelner family: personally supervised by Hendrik Kelner Jr., it perfectly balances power and smoothness, avoiding the problems of excessive suction or overheating that are common in spear-specifications.
• A long and focused tasting experience: approximately 60-75 minutes of steady sipping. Its delicate flavor profile requires the taster to remain focused, making it perfect for a quiet afternoon, paired with a cup of Darjeeling tea or a coffee with floral notes.

Casdagli Basilica C#2 is a sensory discourse about precision, proportion, and elegance. With its slender yet resilient form, it recreates the aesthetic charm of classical aristocracy, presenting you with a captivating and penetrating saga of fine tobacco for every moment requiring ultimate delicacy and focus.
