Tasting notes

The Domaine de Lavalette Classic Small Panatela, with its dimensions of 127 mm (5") in length and a diameter of 11.9 mm (½"), presents a neat appearance, albeit slightly irregular. Its wrapper, a light brown, offers a soft texture to the touch, promising a pleasant experience from the moment you pick it up.

Upon the first olfactory contact, you will be captivated by fruity and sweet pre-light aromas, which reveal themselves with a certain lightness. Upon lighting, these initial notes are accompanied by woody nuances, creating a soothing atmosphere. The sweetness persists throughout the tasting, offering a pleasing initial evolution that reflects a delicate aromatic profile.

On the palate, this cigar stands out with a subtle development of flavors. The three thirds reveal a harmonious progression, where the woody character blends with herbaceous and mineral touches. The evolution towards more complex aromas, with a slight intensity, allows for an appreciation of a beautiful coherence and a gentle approach to the taste, even if some may detect a hint of bitterness in the finish.

The finish of the Domaine de Lavalette Classic Small Panatela offers a medium finish, with a pleasant persistence and a slight bitterness that mingles with woody notes. This balance between strength and sweetness, while moderate, allows for enjoyment of this cigar in a convivial moment, making it unique among small panatelas.

Ideal for a break, this little gem is perfectly savored alongside a light tea or a black coffee, especially in the mid-afternoon when you seek a well-deserved moment of relaxation.
