Introducing the Michelangelo, a robust and evocative cigar that channels the creative spirit of its namesake, Michelangelo Buonarroti. This Eagle, measuring 5 ½ inches with a 50-ring gauge, is dedicated to the iconic “The Creation of Adam” and poetically represents the second day of creation—the day God created the sky. The Michelangelo cigar embodies this celestial theme, presenting a blend that reaches for the heavens in its ambition and flavor.
The cigar itself is an attractive perfecto, featuring an oily cover leaf that not only draws the eye but promises a rich, textured smoking experience. Upon lighting, the Michelangelo offers strong and spicy initial puffs, an assertive introduction that mirrors the bold strokes of Michelangelo’s own artistry. As the smoke develops, complex notes of minerals and leather emerge, crafting a robust middle that intrigues the palate.
However, the Michelangelo is characterized by a persistent charry note of burnt coffee, a distinctive flavor that lingers into the finish and dominates the cigar’s profile. This intense note adds a dramatic flair to the smoke, much like the dramatic scenes depicted by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
