Flavor Profile

The El Septimo Leonardo da Vinci pays tribute to the polymath’s genius with a unique inky panetela shape. It offers a complex and intellectual flavor profile characterized by notes of black pepper, rich cocoa powder, and aged oak. A distinctive touch of anise adds a layer of sophistication to the smoke. This cigar is designed for reflective moments, providing an artistic and historical narrative through its evolving flavors of spice and sweetness, culminating in a refined and balanced finish.

Construction

This elegant Lancero (7.5 x 40) is topped with a signature pigtail cap. Its thin construction is notoriously difficult to execute, yet El Septimo delivers a flawless roll with no soft spots. The Colorado-colored wrapper is applied seamlessly over an undisclosed blend of long-fillers. Despite its slender ring gauge, the draw is effortless and the burn is remarkably straight, providing a cool smoke that allows the subtle cocoa and pepper notes to shine.

Pairing Suggestion

Inspired by genius, this cigar offers a balanced blend of spice, wood, and cream. Pair it with a Japanese Single Malt or a refined Armagnac to appreciate its layered flavors. A balanced Cappuccino or a smoked Lapsang Souchong tea also provides an excellent counterpoint. Pair it with complex snacks like smoked almonds or truffle-infused cheeses to mirror the cigar’s sophisticated and inventive profile.
