Crowned Heads
Le Patissier No. 50 Single Cigar
First Third: The smoke begins with an enticing, rich depth reminiscent of an artisan bakery. Prominent flavors of dark baking cocoa, roasted coffee beans, and a distinct black pepper spice coat the palate. The retrohale is lively but refined, offering a clear mineral quality mixed with a gentle woodsy aroma.
Second Third: Moving into the main core of the stick, a creamier, silkier texture develops to soften the initial pepper. Notes of dark earth, weathered cedar, and roasted walnuts come forward, beautifully complemented by an undercurrent of natural dark cherry and molasses sweetness derived from the wrapper.
Final Third: The conclusion increases slightly in body while maintaining absolute balance. The sweeter components subtly step back as deeper notes of charred oak, leathery undertones, and an amplified wave of warming baking spices like nutmeg and clove take over, leaving a long, clean, and savory aftertaste.
