Experience

The Bits of Havana Exclusive by Kyle Gellis brought some interesting flavors to the table. This Nicaraguan puro’s flavor profile has notes of cedar, pepper, dried fruit, and a sugar flavor. The sugar note is what intrigued me the most. It wasn’t a sweetness but instead the flavor you would get as a kid if your parents gave you corn flakes, you doused them in sugar, and then would drink the sugar milk out of the bottom of the bowl. There wasn’t much in the way of flavor change during the cigar and late in the second third. I found that I would have to take a primer puff to keep it lit.

Pairing

A sugary coffee beverage. Something like a caramel macchiato or frappe. A cherry-heavy, low-proof bourbon would also go nicely with this cigar.
