Tasting notes
The Horacio Edición Especial Colosso, with its generous dimensions of 139.7 mm (5½") in length and a diameter of 23.8 mm (⅞"), immediately catches the eye with its beautifully crafted leather and elegant coffee brown color. The smooth and slightly oily texture of the wrapper gives this cigar a lovely shine, enhancing its sophisticated appearance. It is a choice piece that awakens the senses from the very first handling.
Upon lighting, the initial olfactory contact reveals a seductive blend of aromas, including coffee, cocoa, and a gentle hint of black pepper. From the first puffs, a delicate balance establishes itself, accompanied by notes of caramelized sugar and a slight saltiness. As the minutes pass, the aromatic complexity unfolds, offering new discoveries for discerning palates.
On the palate, the flavor journey evolves with a beautiful coherence across the three thirds. The beginning is rich in coffee notes, gently transitioning towards more woody flavors as the smoke thickens. A delightfully creamy passage brings a smooth nuance, while herbal and nut notes subtly invite themselves, reinforcing the impression of sophistication. The transition to the final third offers intrigue with earthy and spicy touches, punctuated by sweetness and a certain warmth.
The impressive finish leaves a lasting sensation and a balance between strength and sweetness, with notes of black pepper and cocoa that linger long on the palate. The eloquence of this cigar lies in its ability to captivate and surprise with each draw, making the Horacio Edición Especial Colosso a choice piece for enthusiasts.
Perfect for a moment of relaxation at the end of the day, this cigar pairs wonderfully with a glass of aged whisky or a robust black coffee, highlighting its rich aromas while leaving a memorable impression with every smoke.
