Tasting notes
The Horacio Edición Especial XL, a cigar measuring 127 mm in length and 23.8 mm 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.
