  • Hints of floral, herbal, and coffee-like tones
  • Slight sweetness toward the end of the bowl

• Strength: Extremely strong

• Room Note: Strong and masculine

Preparation Tips

• Slice the rope into coins and rub out or cube cut for easier packing.
• Recommended for evening use, ideally after a full meal due to its nicotine potency.
• Burns cool and slow, but may require relights.
• Avoid drying it out—moisture helps preserve its richness.
