TASTING NOTES

Appearance

Deep dark Habano wrapper invites immediate interest.

Nose

Alluring aromas of cocoa, coffee and cedar wood foreshadow the pleasures arising from smoking this cigar.

Taste

Habano at its best. A sultry, sophisticated smoke with classic Cuban flavours of black liquorice, dark spices and mocha finessed by notes of caramel and vanilla that culminate in a long, lingering finish.

SUMMARY OF CIGAR EXPERIENCE

Square pressed (also called box pressed) cigars are literally pressed into the box where the pressure from the box creates a square shape. Originating in Cuba, this practice was initially adopted to save shipping space but found to cause the cigars to burn longer and with a more consistent flavour, thereby giving the connoisseur a more enjoyable smoke.

Made from the same kind of tobacco that captivated Hemingway, Churchill and Kennedy, Sharpeville delivers the kind of smoke you want to suckle late at night in a dim speakeasy surrounded by sultry, down tempo jazz, strong whisky, seductive women and a fearless sense of adventure.
