 Serving & Pairing Tips

• Storage: Keep in humidor at ~65–70% relative humidity and ~18-21 °C for optimal flavour and construction.

• Cut & Draw: Use a sharp straight or V-cut; moderate draws ensure the large format doesn’t overheat and maintain flavour balance.

• Session Time: Expect 45-75 minutes depending on pace—give it the time it deserves.
