Storage & Usage Tips

• Store in sealed packaging or in a humidor at ~65‑70% relative humidity to maintain freshness.

• Because of the small format, take slow and moderate draws to avoid overheating and keep flavour crisp.

• Pair with light drinks such as tea, coffee or mild beer rather than heavy spirits, to match the mild‑to‑medium character.
