Perla Del Mar Shade Short Robusto

The Perla Del Mar Shade Short Robusto opens with a smooth mild-to-medium-bodied profile, offering an immediate wave of sweet cream, toasted cedar, and buttery brioche accented by a delicate honey note. The retrohale adds a gentle touch of white pepper, nutmeg, and soft citrus zest, providing subtle brightness without disturbing the cigar’s creamy foundation. In the second third, flavors of vanilla custard, roasted almond, and light caramel emerge, creating a warm, dessert-like quality while maintaining a balanced sweetness. The final third develops richer tones of light coffee, toasted oak, and a faint hint of baking spice, finishing with a mellow, lingering creaminess that leaves the palate refreshed.
