Serving & Pairing Suggestions

• Pair with: A good single malt whisky, dark rum, espresso or even a rich coffee—these flavours complement the cigar’s cocoa, wood and nut notes.

• Storage: Maintain at ~65-70% RH and ~18-21 °C for best preservation of wrapper oils, burn quality and flavour development.

• Smoking advice: With a 50 ring gauge, take moderate draws—allow the cigar to burn evenly and let the flavours evolve.

• Ageing Potential: While excellent now, further humidor rest will smooth edges and develop complexity—an investment for a seasoned smokesession.
