Flavor Profile

Chocolate, cinnamon, earth, nuts

Session was blended as an everyday workhorse—dark Broadleaf on the outside with a Dominican core to keep the smoke friendly and flavorful. The profile highlights chocolate and cinnamon with earth and nutty undertones, and coffee/pepper moments that emerge as the cigar warms. Designed for steady, social smoking, it delivers consistent flavor without demanding intense attention.
