The J London Pink Telephone Cigar is a remarkable fusion of style and substance, offering smokers a sophisticated experience from start to finish. As you embark on this flavourful journey, each third reveals a distinct profile that captivates the senses and invites contemplation.
Upon lighting the Pink Telephone, the cigar ignites smoothly, producing a steady burn that signals the beginning of a delightful experience. The initial puffs introduce a velvety texture with creamy vanilla notes that coat the palate, creating an inviting start. Complementing this sweetness are toasted nut undertones—think roasted almonds or hazelnuts—adding a comforting backdrop. A hint of white pepper and cinnamon provides a gentle spice, ensuring that the opening is both complex and balanced. The smoke carries a fragrant aroma, enriched with floral notes such as jasmine or lavender, which linger in the air, enhancing the overall sensory delight.
As the cigar progresses into its second third, the flavours deepen and evolve beautifully. The initial sweetness transitions to a richer profile characterized by indulgent caramel, which introduces a delightful contrast to the earlier nuttiness. Dark chocolate notes emerge, adding a luxurious quality to the experience, while earthy undertones reminiscent of damp soil or leather ground the flavours. Subtle hints of cedar enrich the smoke, providing depth and complexity. The spice from the first third grows bolder, seamlessly integrating with the sweet and earthy elements to create a multifaceted flavour profile. At this stage, the cigar shifts to a medium body, inviting deeper reflection as the flavours intertwine.
Approaching the final third, the Pink Telephone reveals its fullest expression of flavour, culminating in a satisfying and rich experience. Strong espresso notes dominate, offering a robust contrast to the earlier sweetness, while dark fruit flavours—think figs or dark berries—add intriguing complexity. The earthy and cedar notes intensify, creating a warm, comforting finish that envelops the palate. The initial creamy vanilla flavour makes a triumphant return, tying the experience together and providing continuity. As the spice peaks, it delivers a satisfying warmth that lingers, inviting you to savour the moment. The finish is long and flavourful, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dark chocolate and spice that enhances the overall enjoyment.
The J London Pink Telephone Cigar is a masterfully crafted smoke that captivates with its evolving flavour profiles. From the creamy sweetness of the opening to the rich complexity of the final third, each draw offers a unique experience that delights the senses. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, this cigar provides a memorable journey that leaves a lasting impression, making it a standout choice for both novice and seasoned smokers alike.
