Tasting notes
The Horacio OX Blue Velvet captivates you with its elegant and refined appearance. Its beautiful shiny brown wrapper is highlighted by a meticulously crafted texture. In hand, the wrapper is smooth and pleasant, promising a quality smoking experience. The format of 133.4 mm (5¼") and a diameter of 23.8 mm (⅞") give it a striking presence.
From the very first olfactory contact, your nose is enchanted by complex aromas. Pre-light, one perceives slightly smoky and earthy notes, reminiscent of a barbecue. After lighting, the flavors quickly evolve towards nuances of walnut, chocolate, and cedar, enriched by hints of coffee and earth, bringing a beautiful depth to this moment. This aromatic diversity promises a rich exploration from the very first puffs.
On the palate, the cigar develops harmoniously through the three thirds. The flavors of walnut, chocolate, and coffee notes intertwine in a subtle dance. As you progress, elements such as fresh mint and a hint of earth add to the complexity of the profile, while a creamy texture makes itself felt, enveloping the palate in a graceful veil.
In the finish, the Horacio OX Blue Velvet offers a velvety mouthfeel, with an impressive balance between strength and sweetness. The length of the finish is medium, leaving a pleasant and slightly spicy imprint. This cigar stands out for its ability to marry intensity and delicacy, making it particularly interesting for connoisseurs.
Ideal for a moment of relaxation at the end of the day, this cigar pairs perfectly with a peaty whisky or a black coffee, thereby enhancing its characteristic aromas and unique character.
