TASTING NOTES
Appearance
Silky smooth, rich dark brown Maduro wrapper invites immediate interest. Presented as a highly unusual shaggy foot, cedar-wrapped smoke that showcases the craftsmanship of the hands used to construct this cigar.
Nose
Alluring aromas of freshly ground coffee, hints of chocolate and toasted cedar wood with whispers of vanilla attributable to the barrel-aged whisky pedigree.
Taste
Aphrodite is a sophisticated, silky smooth smoke sure to please all your senses. It opens with subtle sensations of freshly brewed espresso and ground black peppercorns that yield to undernotes of dark chocolate and roasted walnuts that tickle your palate throughout the burn. A long, lingering, luxurious finish with whispers of vanilla and the faintest hints of whisky leave you wanting more, much more. The cigar burns even and cool, just like it should.

Robust flavours and rich complexity marry with a melody of subtle spices to deliver an enjoyable, medium bodied smoke with a luxurious, woody finish. A sophisticated yet unusual cigar experience that would delight even the most jaded South American dictator.
