Tasting notes

The Horacio Edición Especial XL, a cigar measuring 127 mm (5") in length and 23.8 mm (⅞") in diameter, presents itself in an elegant Ecuadorian wrapper. Its silky wrapper, showcasing golden hues, reflects exceptional craftsmanship. Upon handling, one feels an impeccable texture that promises a refined experience.

From the very first olfactory contact, this cigar reveals rich pre-light aromas, oscillating between cedar and hints of walnut. Upon lighting, it releases warm scents of roasted coffee and a slight spicy note, which intensifies with each puff, adding increasing complexity to the sensory experience.

On the palate, the development of flavors is captivating. The first third introduces a subtle creaminess, followed by a build-up of strength with earthy notes in the second third. The final third reveals a more robust character, never tipping into excess, maintaining a pleasant balance between strength and sweetness. The tasting concludes with a beautiful finish, where salivation mingles with a slight bitterness.

The finale is very rich, leaving a pleasant and lasting sensation in the mouth. The complexity and evolution of the aromas throughout the tasting make this cigar a unique experience at every moment. Its balance, between woody and earthy nuances, makes it a distinctly refined choice.

This cigar is ideal to enjoy at the end of a quiet day, accompanied by a black coffee or a smooth whisky, thereby enhancing its delicate aromas.
