Azabache was introduced as a darker, limited TAA offering: a Mexican San Andrés maduro jacket over a Honduran‑centric binder and fillers that include Nicaraguan and Peruvian leaf for balance. Reviewers converge on coffee, leather and dark chocolate as the core signatures, with black pepper and a smoky wood or cedar finish. The line was offered box‑pressed in several vitolas and generally scores well for draw and smoke production—leaning toward roasted, savory flavors rather than overt sweetness.
