TASTING NOTES

Appearance

Rich, medium brown colour with fine, delicate leaf trademarks of Connecticut Shade tobacco. Presented as a highly unusual shaggy foot, cedar-wrapped smoke that showcases the craftsmanship of the hands used to construct this cigar.

Nose

Seductive scents of orange peel, lightly roasted cashews and toasted cedar wood with whispers of vanilla attributable to the barrel-aged whisky pedigree.

Taste

Maasai is a sophisticated, silky smooth smoke sure to please all your senses. It delivers immediate gratification through a rich, creamy introduction that undresses layers of fine spices to tickle your palate throughout the burn. A soft, sensuous draw delivers subtle undertones of orange peel and black peppers. The finish delivers lingering whispers of vanilla and the faintest hints of whisky that culminate a balanced, beautiful smoke. The cigar burns as cool as a creamsicle.

SUMMARY OF CIGAR EXPERIENCE

Maasai is a smooth and sophisticated cigar that delivers a well balanced, creamy smoke experience suitable for a wide range of cigar smokers. The Connecticut wrapper is the finest in the cigar world and delivers the seductive smoothness of a well-made cigar. The triple play of filler tobaccos combines with the wrapper and binder to deliver a well balanced, medium bodied smoke. A truly enjoyable smoke that takes you back to a long enjoyable afternoon under the shade of a palm tree on the patio of a hacienda overlooking the tobacco fields of Vuelta Abajo.
