Tasting notes

The Griffin's Classic No. 200, hailing from Ecuador, captivates with its refined appearance and impeccable construction. Measuring 177.8 mm (7") in length and a diameter of 17.5 mm (¾"), this cigaresse presents a uniform wrapper and a texture that feels intriguingly smooth in hand.

From the first contact, the aroma reveals notes of wood and grass, with a slightly spicy touch. Upon lighting, a gentle warmth is perceived, preceding the rise of flavors that evoke the initial olfactory promise. As you progress towards the midpoint, black pepper subtly invites itself, adding a beautiful complexity to this experience.

On the palate, the development of flavors unfolds harmoniously across the three thirds. Initially, sweetness remains predominant, but gradually, notes of spices and honey intertwine, offering a delightful coherence throughout the tasting. This aromatic progression allows for an enjoyable blend without any one flavor overshadowing the others.

The finish, on the other hand, is marked by a gentle warmth in the mouth, with a good balance between strength and sweetness. This cigaresse stands out for its ability to appeal to a wide audience, from novice cigar enthusiasts to the more experienced, in a relaxed setting.

You can enjoy this griffin's during an evening aperitif, paired with a good white wine or a light liqueur, to maximize these delicate aromas and fully appreciate its tasting potential.
