Layered

A layered flavor journey, starting mild and subtle before developing into a rich, medium-plus profile of creamy leather, bread, nuts, and chocolate. While early construction issues impacted the draw, switching to a straight cut unlocked its complexity and revealed its full potential.

OverviewA layered cigar with an evolving flavor profile of cocoa, leather, nuts, and buttery cream, culminating in rich notes of almonds, chocolate, and nutmeg. Despite initial airflow challenges, the cigar delivers excellent complexity and a satisfying medium-plus body once resolved.

Profile

  • Wrapper: No discernible odor.
  • Cold Draw: Not performed.
  • Start: Stiff draw with limited airflow, mild flavors emerge slowly: cocoa, black pepper, leather, and walnut.
  • First Third: Airflow improves significantly after switching to a straight cut, introducing buttery cream and nutty undertones.
  • Second Third: Creamy leather becomes dominant, accompanied by bread notes, nuts, and nutmeg.
  • Final Third: Rich almonds, chocolate undertones, and leather define the finish with a medium-plus body.
  • Construction Notes: Early stiffness and wrapper issues were user-related but did not detract from the overall flavor quality once resolved.

General Notes

  • Wrapper has no odor
  • Forgot to do a cold draw
  • Stick is very stiff
  • hard to pull
  • Very difficult to get good airflow on the pull
  • Not picking up any particular flavors yet… 17m into this cigar
  • Cocoa
  • Mild black pepper
  • Leather
  • Walnut
  • Mild to medium body
  • 40 minutes in
  • and I switched to a straight cut which greatly improved airflow
  • Buttery cream
  • Cigar drastically improved after changing to a straight cut
  • One hour in and it's getting a little nutty
  • Creamy leather I think speaks to the primary flavor of this cigar
  • Some notes of bread and nuts
  • Nutmeg
  • 1.5 hours into this cigar
  • more than the halfway point
  • Flavor is now medium plus
  • Final third reminds me of almonds and chocolate undertones with the leather still playing a strong role
  • Had to put it down
  • the wrapper was falling off and it was losing its flavor
  • The construction issue of the wrapper was my fault because I kept squeezing the cigar to increase flow with the v-cut
  • should've started with a straight cut
