Flavor Profile & Smoking Experience
-
Pre-light: Sweet curing barn aroma along the barrel; baking spice notes off the foot; cold draw offers earth and pepper with perfect restriction.
-
First Third: Opens with light peppery notes, sweetness, and cocoa. The draw is near perfect, with a high smoke output and a dry, spicy texture dominated by red pepper through the retrohale.
-
Midpoint: Nutty aroma emerges, with cinnamon and vanilla joining the palate. Candy-like sweetness and perfume-like floral notes develop, along with hazelnut and peanut elements. The profile is complex and different from other RoMa Craft lines, with a dry texture and medium flavor intensity.
-
Final Third: Syrupy cinnamon sweetness, nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla. Red pepper and other spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice) combine for a pumpkin spice or Hot Tamales candy character. Some samples show a banana-like vegetal note. The finish is short, slightly salty, and the smoke can become hot to the touch.
-
Overall: Medium in flavor, medium-light in strength, and medium in body. The cigar is noted for its nuanced transitions and complexity, though the small format can lead to a hotter smoke and the need for occasional touch-ups due to a wavy burn and flakey ash.
