La Imperiosa Magicos

The La Imperiosa Magicos opens with a bold medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an immediate rush of dark chocolate, espresso, and charred oak, underscored by a lively black pepper spice that invigorates the palate and retrohale. Early draws reveal a subtle molasses sweetness and hints of dried cherry, adding depth and balance to the cigar’s robust opening. As it progresses into the midsection, the pepper softens slightly, allowing flavors of leather, roasted almond, and cocoa powder to emerge, enriched by a warm baking spice undertone. The final third grows darker and more intense, with espresso crema, bittersweet chocolate, and smoky cedar lingering long into the finish.
