Storage & Usage Tips
-
Humidor storage: Maintain around ~65‑70% relative humidity and ~18‑21 °C temperature to preserve wrapper texture and ageing potential.
-
Cut & draw: Use a sharp straight cutter or V‑cut; because of the premium format and blend, moderate draws are preferable to savor complexity.
-
Ideal occasion: Designed for special celebrations, milestones, or as a collector piece — allocate time and environment for full appreciation.
-
Pairing suggestions: Consider aged cognac, refined single‑malt whisky, dark roasted coffee or exclusive teas (e.g., Da Hong Pao) — the cigar’s flavors of caramel, nuts, chocolate and wood pair beautifully.
-
Ageing potential: Given the exceptional blend and format, further humidor aging may deepen flavour and reward patient connoisseurs.
