Olmec Claro Robusto

The Olmec Claro Robusto opens with a smooth and creamy profile of toasted cedar, sweet vanilla, and delicate floral notes, establishing a medium-bodied and balanced foundation. The retrohale delivers gentle white pepper spice layered with hints of honey, almond, and light leather, adding aromatic complexity and brightness. As the cigar progresses into the second third, flavors of caramelized brown sugar, roasted nuts, and soft brioche develop, enriching the silky texture and refined complexity. The final third finishes with notes of light cocoa, espresso crema, and a lingering toasted oak finish, delivering a polished and satisfying conclusion.
