Flavor Profile

Leather, cocoa, earth, pepper

Think of Excalibur Black as the darker sibling in the family: a chewy Broadleaf jacket that brings roast and dark‑chocolate notes to the fore while the Nicaraguan structure supplies weight and a peppered backbone. The mouthfeel tends toward slightly chewy, with cocoa and coffee‑bean bitterness up front, leather in the midsection and a dry, earthy finish that lets pepper play support rather than dominate. Construction and burn are noted strengths—firm draw and steady ash—so the cigar performs as consistently as it tastes. It’s a maduro that aims for dessert‑side roast and leather rather than sheer horsepower.
