Henry Clay Rustic Cheroot

The Henry Clay Rustic Cheroot opens with a medium-bodied profile, revealing warm cedar, light espresso, and gentle nutty undertones layered over a soft, earthy base. Early draws provide subtle black pepper, hints of leather, and delicate caramel notes, while the retrohale introduces faint spice, mild cocoa, and whispers of dried fruit that enhance the overall complexity without overpowering. In the midsection, flavors of milk chocolate, roasted almonds, and soft oak emerge, wrapped in a smooth, creamy texture that balances the mild spice and emphasizes the blend’s approachable richness. The final third develops nuanced charred wood, lingering cocoa, and subtle vanilla, leaving a clean, satisfying finish that gradually mellows while maintaining a refined sweetness.

The Honduran Claro wrapper is silky, light brown, and evenly veined, expertly rolled over a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. The Rustic Cheroot vitola is precisely constructed with an even pack and flawless cap, offering an effortless draw that produces aromatic, creamy smoke. The burn line remains consistent and self-correcting, while the ash forms firm, light-gray columns that hold well between taps.

An ideal pairing is Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak, whose gentle sherry sweetness, dried fruit, and subtle oak complement the cigar’s cedar, almond, and chocolate notes while enhancing its approachable richness.
