Why Barber-Pole Wrapping Matters
The alternating wrappers don’t just look good — they change which leaf touches your palate as you puff, subtly shifting flavor and aroma. Expect smooth creaminess from the Connecticut, with richer chocolate/coffee accents from the Maduro weaving in and out.
Tasting Notes
- First third: Sweet cream, light wood, hint of vanilla biscotti
- Middle: Cocoa, gentle baking spice, toasted nut
- Finale: Round, balanced finish; clean on the palate
Pairing Ideas
- Coffee: Flat white or cappuccino to echo the creamy profile
- Whisky: Speyside single malt or a mellow bourbon
- Non-alcoholic: Cold-brew or cola over ice for a touch of sweetness
When to Reach for It
- Daytime or early-evening smokes
- Social settings where you want appeal without overpowering strength
- Gifting — its unique look always gets compliments
How It’s Made
Artisans apply one wrapper, then spiral the second wrapper with precise tension so seams sit flush. The result is even combustion and a consistent draw when rolled correctly.
FAQs
Is a barber-pole stronger than a regular cigar?
Not automatically. Strength depends on the blend; our Executive Barber Pole is mild-medium.
Does the flavor flip back and forth?
Gently — expect waves rather than sharp switches as the burn line meets alternating leaves.
