Viaje Satori Nirvana: unlit, hints of earth and hay. The opening reveals a mix of toasted, vegetal and spicy notes (white pepper).
Toasted notes are released, supported by a white pepper spice and ginger in the aftertaste. The strength is slightly above medium (3.5/5) and the cigar has a rather marked finish.
In the central section, the smoke turns to notes of herbs, supported by the omnipresent spiciness, which accompanies each puff. An earthy vein is now also present. Strength remains constant (3.5/5).
It continue on the same same flavor profile, without variations even in terms of strength, which remains constant.
Overall, the Viaje Satori Nirvana releases a smoke with a rather linear evolution, which lacks a change of rhythm throughout the smoke, becoming one dimensional at times. The flavor profile is discreet, with a good finish.
