Flavor Profile
The Magnum R 52 is known for its harmonious blend of classic flavors with a sweet and creamy character:
-
First third: Rich roasted nuts, cedar, and leather, with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of frosting or maple that is closely tied to the cedar notes. Some reviewers note a citrusy sweetness and a gentle spice.
-
Second third: The roasted nut flavor fades, leaving a balanced combination of sweet cedar and leather. Pepperiness grows on the finish, adding complexity.
-
Final third: The cigar becomes more sharply cedary and peppery, with the sweetness receding. Leather returns for a final encore, rounding out the profile.
-
Other notes: Cashew, salted dark caramel, creamy cocoa, cinnamon, dried fruit, and a hint of earth can also be detected, contributing to a layered and nuanced experience.
