Tasting notes
With its dimensions of 152.4 mm (6") in length and 18.3 mm (¾") in diameter, the Black Works Studio Killer Bee The Hornet presents itself as a fine Corona Larga featuring an intriguing two-tone wrapper. Its Ecuadorian cloak sparkles under the light, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship and the firmness of its rolling.
From the very first olfactory contact, this creation captivates us with its pre-light aromas, where notes of cocoa, earth, and fresh herbal nuances intertwine. Upon lighting, a harmonious bouquet unfolds, beginning with a soft and slightly sweet introduction, before revealing hints of wood and spices. Each puff suggests a growing depth throughout the tasting experience.
On the palate, the development is captivating. The three thirds reveal a controlled complexity, oscillating between creamy sensations and more earthy notes in the mid-smoke, culminating in a finish marked by leather and a slight roastiness. The balance between strength and sweetness plays a crucial role here, making each inhalation enjoyable and flavorful.
The mouthfeel is characterized by an interesting finish, with a slightly creamy texture that is not aggressive. This cigar stands out not only for its aromas but also for its average length in mouth that leaves a most delicate imprint. The overall balance is simply excellent, making every moment spent with it a sincere pleasure.
Ideal for an afternoon tasting, this cigar can be perfectly paired with a full-bodied black coffee or even bourbon, thereby accentuating the notes of cocoa and earth. It is a moment of delight that you must experience.
