Flavor Profile

Cedar, dark chocolate/cocoa, roasted coffee, earth, white pepper, blackberry

The Special Edition is a small‑batch, box‑pressed Habano expression rolled at Tavicusa: an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler that leans medium to medium‑full. Flavor signatures include cedar and cocoa with roasted coffee bean and white‑pepper highlights; occasional berry or blackberry sweetness pops in some samples. The press and blend create a thick early texture that tightens into stronger spice and cedar later, and construction is generally good though some variability between examples exists. It's a focused, boutique Rocky Patel release that attracted high scores for its balance of cocoa, toast and pepper.
