Freud AlterEgo Lonsdale

The Freud AlterEgo Lonsdale opens with a medium-bodied elegance, presenting refined notes of cedar, toasted almond, and light cocoa dusted with a gentle cinnamon sweetness that immediately establishes a balanced and inviting profile. The retrohale delivers soft white pepper, baking spice, and a faint dried apricot note, lifting the flavors with subtle brightness while maintaining an undercurrent of earthy richness. In the second third, the cigar deepens into creamy espresso, warm oak, and roasted cashew, with the Lonsdale format concentrating the flavor delivery while allowing for graceful transitions. The final third introduces bittersweet chocolate, leather, and a delicate honeyed finish, leaving a long, clean, and slightly spiced aftertaste that lingers without heaviness.
