Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

At cold, the wrapper smells of leather and chocolate. The pre-light draw gives some deep flavors of earth and of leather. There are also hints of floral characteristics.

Burn/ Draw

Once cut, the draw is rather firm, but not hampering the smoking experience. Once lit, the Mille Fleurs is generating a lot of velvety smoke, and the finish is short, very fresh and herbal. There are notes of grass and hay on the nose. The cigar is burning well, a little bit wavy at times, only one or two touch-ups are required to correct it. The ash holds on firmly at the foot.

Initial third:

When lighting up the cigar, a rich flavor of leather reaches the palate, mixed up with some earthy, grassy and hay notes. Further on, the classic Cuban cedar taste joins the mix, along with some chocolate, while some sweetness also develops, with some hints of caramel, or floral sweetness. There is also just a bit of pepper and spices on the finish. The body is right at the medium level.

Middle third:

In the middle third, the dominant flavors are still of leather, wood and bitter chocolate. There are also some notes of coffee and of vanilla. The strength hasn’t changed and it is very pleasant to smoke this Mille Fleurs.

Final third:

In the final third, the leather is still dominant while the cedar and the other flavors from the middle third recede in the background. One noticeable change is the addition of a creamy chocolate note.

In summary, it is a great everyday smoke as it is cheap and also ages very well.

Smoking time:

45 – 60 Minutes
