Tasting notes

The Quisqueya Classic Petit presents itself with a well-crafted wrapper, a balanced development, and a perfectly mastered structure. Its dimensions of 139.7 mm (5½") in length and 13.1 mm (½") in diameter make it an appealing choice for fans of smaller cigars. The texture of the wrapper, soft to the touch, piques curiosity, inviting one to explore its aromatic universe.

Upon the first olfactory contact, the revealing pre-light aromas of wood and vanilla subtly manifest, while at ignition, a fruity flavor blossoms in the nose. These sweet notes express a certain complexity, enriched by spicy nuances that evolve slightly with each draw. The fragrance, both simple and evoking the freshness of fruits, offers a beautiful promise of a tasting experience.

On the palate, this creation stands out with a harmonious development across its three thirds. The flavors of coffee and fruits dominate, particularly at the beginning, but the structure allows for the introduction of spices and pepper seed aromas. Each draw reveals a velvety sweetness, with a slight refreshing acidity that enriches the cigar's flavor complexity while maintaining a beautiful coherence until the end.

The finish expresses itself with a pleasant sensation, leading to a medium finish in the mouth, while offering a balance between strength and sweetness. The combination of the different aromas provides immense satisfaction without ever becoming overwhelming.

Ideal for a relaxed tasting one afternoon, the Quisqueya Classic Petit can be paired with a glass of light whisky or a mild tea, enhancing the enjoyment of its delicate aromas while balancing its sweetness.
