Second Third: As the cigar progresses, the flavours deepen. The spice mellows slightly, making room for notes of roasted nuts, dark fruit, and molasses. The smoke becomes creamier, with the chocolate and espresso notes taking centre stage.
Final Third: In the final stretch, the Hercule ramps up its intensity with a resurgence of peppery spice and charred wood.
