Flavor Profile
The Damaso #15 delivers a nuanced and complex smoking experience, especially for a Connecticut-wrapped cigar:
-
First third: Initial blast of black pepper, followed by notes of milk chocolate and cedar; pepper and cayenne weave in and out, offering a spicier take than most Connecticuts.
-
Mid-smoke: Creamy, plentiful smoke with flavors of cedar, pepper, cashew, cocoa, and hints of coconut.
-
Final third: The pepper recedes, and the cigar finishes long and creamy, with subtle sweetness and a touch of saltiness and floral notes on the retrohale.
-
Aroma: Sweet tobacco with a classic barnyard scent.
