Ashology™ Smoking Experience

Pepper, cedar, cocoa and sweet tobacco.
First Third
Classic pepper opens the cigar before dark cocoa, cedar and earth settle into place.
Second Third
Espresso, leather and baking spice develop as natural sweetness balances the increasing strength.
Final Third
Black pepper, coffee and charred oak dominate while cocoa remains underneath.
Construction
Strong draw, heavy smoke production and consistent combustion.
Finish
Long, peppery and satisfying.
Ashology Assessment
A bold, distinctly Honduran cigar with power, balance, and consistency.
