Raw, the Horacio Pasión 42 cigar reveals delicate scents of leather, lightly accompanied by a hint of humus, supported by intense roasted notes subtly reminiscent of a freshly brewed espresso. On first puff, a generous, rich smoke unfurls, enveloping the palate with delight. Leathery notes intertwine harmoniously with woody nuances and a delicate hint of honey, revealing themselves fully on the finish. Midway through, the burn remains excellent, offering a perfect draw, while the aroma intensifies, intertwining with honey notes for a balanced, full-flavored finish. The persistence in the mouth is remarkable, encouraging you to savor every puff up to the end of the cigar.
