Cold Draw – Cedar, cream, vanilla, oak, light notes of grass and spice

1st Third – Beautifully rich milk and dark chocolate on the front palate, followed by cedar, oak, and on the finish, a light touch of spice – white, black, and floral red pepper. A note of pencil shavings/graphite reminiscent of a well-aged and mature Bordeaux.

Half an inch in, the spice comes to the front with white and light black pepper, a mid-palate of cedar, and the chocolate goes away. The floral red pepper note is replaced by dried flowers – violets and roses/potpourri.

Shortly after, the finish gains another note of tart Granny Smith apples, making the mouth water and yearn for another satisfying moment of attentive appreciation.

An inch in the profile continuously shifts with spice still up front, graphite and pencil shavings on the mid-palate, and a sweet but slightly dry cedar on the finish. The tartness still makes your palate crave another flavorful puff of sublime, silky-smooth smoke.

Halfway into the 2nd inch, the spice is now joined with the light sweetness of milk chocolate again, along with dark cacao truffles on the mid-palate. The cedar and graphite/pencil shavings have now moved to the finish, and the apple-like tartness now permeates the profile from the mid-palate on. Silky smooth with plenty of flavor and refined, elegant power, the cigar reminds of a high-quality, well-aged Right Bank Merlot from one of the top estates.

To call it an iron fist in a velvet glove captures the experience of the first third perfectly.
It is uncompromisingly decisive, clean, and unyielding, while gentle and refined on the palate.

2nd Third – Spice fades away and is now replaced by graphite pencil shavings on the front palate, along with dried apples or quince. Mid palate is now peanuts, almonds, and brazil nuts, with a finish of light black pepper.

Half an inch in, pepper is back on the front palate, primarily black pepper, midpalate is white pepper, and the finish is cedar, pencil shavings, and graphite.

Halfway through the 2nd third, the profile experiences another distinct change – dark chocolate on the front palate, with a mid-palate of black and white pepper and a finish of mahogany, cedar , and black pepper. The body moves to medium-full, with flavor still at full.

Last Third Milk chocolate on the front palate, spice on the mid-palate, and a finish of graphite/pencil shavings.

The sweetness of the 5 year-aged Peruvian Pelo d’oro, one of the most expensive tobaccos in the world, now truly shines, revealing a myriad of rich, sweet flavors – vanilla, cedar, oak, brown sugar, and honey.
The body is a solid medium-full, with the interplay of milk and dark chocolate pairing perfectly with the spice on the mid-palate, with a finish of cedar/oak/graphite/pencil shavings.

The cigar ends with a velvet-like profile of dark chocolate, spice, cedar, oak, and pencil shavings.
