El Septimo
Travel Time Collection New York Single Cigar
First Third: The cigar gets underway with a smooth, highly approachable entry that immediately covers the palate in rich earthiness, soft cedar timber, and a gentle white pepper attribute on the retrohale. A subtle, natural sugar-like sweetness quickly emerges to round out the early spice.
Second Third: Burning into the widest portion of the short barrel, the flavor profile turns considerably darker and more robust. Dominant characteristics of fresh-brewed espresso beans, heavy vintage leather, and bitter baker's chocolate step forward, creating a dense, velvety smoke texture.
Final Third: The conclusion maintains a balanced, steady medium presence without introducing harsh oils or biting the back of the throat. Deep notes of rich volcanic topsoil, charred oak, and dark cocoa powder harmonize beautifully, leaving a long, clean, and highly aromatic woodsy finish.
