Flavor Profile

Coffee/espresso, caramel, sweet spice, dark chocolate, lingering sweetness

Sapphire pursues a refined sweetness through age and box‑press: a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over aged Nicaraguan and Honduran filler with dual binders yields coffee and espresso notes up front, caramel and sweet spice through the middle, and dark chocolate with a lingering sweetness on the finish. The box press concentrates flavors and the aged leaf softens aggressive spikes, so the progression is steady rather than volatile. Strength sits squarely in the medium lane and construction is aimed at even burns and a dense, satisfying draw. It's a measured, approachable San Andrés expression for smokers who value sweetness achieved by fermentation and time rather than additives.
