San Miguel by Ghurkha Final Puff

The San Miguel is not a novice cigar, don't let the size fool you. This little Ghurkha has strength. It's like Connor Mgreggor, vicious attitude in a small package. Small but right up in your face with a fierce punch. Burn a bit flaky with dryness. I prefer a bit more oily and moist cigar. But I do love the size and potent punchy flavours.

The favour blend is vanilla, cocoa and coffee.

Fruity, stone fruits and a punchy truffle-flavoured rich dessert. A presence of milk chocolate, melted cocoa and fresh fruits.

I would say the pairing reminds me of vanilla-flavoured baked cheesecake with ground coffee sprinkled over baked with milk chocolate and coated with a tropical fruit sauce to finish off the pairing. The cigar's strength evolves as the cigar nears the end.





Finish off the last bit of the San Miguel cigar with a tasty sip of Ruby port.
