Read from this cigar's own tasting notes, strength and wrapper — not a published score.
Dry, savoury depth — the backbone most aged tobacco is built on.
Clean, resinous notes that come forward as the cigar warms up.
The tingle on the retrohale; usually strongest in the first third.
Roasted, faintly bitter sweetness that builds through the middle.
The soft, rounded texture that keeps a smoke easy on the palate.
Toasted, bready notes — almond, cashew, fresh bread, cereal.

How to keep it
General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.
Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.
Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.
Milder blends age less dramatically — plan to enjoy this one inside a year or so rather than cellaring it long-term.
Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
