Tasting notes

The Vegas de Santiago D8 Short Salomones, measuring 152.4 mm in length and a diameter of 23 mm, showcases an elegant Ecuadorian wrapper with a slightly shiny, velvety appearance. Upon handling, its refined texture and subtle wrinkled characteristics reveal exemplary craftsmanship in its creation, promising a rich and satisfying experience.

From the very first olfactory contact, the cigar unveils a fascinating bouquet. Pre-light, you will perceive aromas of wood, earth, and straw. Once lit, the first third offers an explosion of nutty and slightly creamy flavors, enhanced by a note of honey. This combination captures attention while signaling a rich evolution.

On the palate, the initial part is dominated by nuances of nuts and coffee. As you progress into the second third, the aromas intensify, introducing fruits and spices, adding a pleasant complexity. In the final third, notes of chocolate and leather emerge, accompanied by a constant touch of intensity presenting a superb balance between sweetness and strength.

In the finish, you will be rewarded with a generous finish, offering a remarkable balance between aromatic richness and a lingering sweetness. What makes this experience unique is its ability to remain enjoyable throughout the smoking without descending into unpleasant bitterness.

This cigar is ideally savored during a moment of relaxation in the late afternoon, perhaps accompanied by a coffee for a perfect pairing with its astonishing aromas of honey and cedar, immersing you in a warm atmosphere.
