Storage & Smoking Tips

• Store at ~ 65–70 % relative humidity and ~ 18–20 °C for optimal flavour.

• Given its length and gauge, plan roughly 60-90 minutes for the full smoke to appreciate the transitions.

• Rotate the cigar gently during smoking to maintain even burn and taste progression.

• Pair with medium to full-bodied drinks (aged rum, single-malt whisky, refined spirits) that complement but don’t overshadow the smooth richness.
