With pre-light notes of white pepper, hay, sweet cocoa and honey, and occasional notes of sweetness and spice, this cigar remains almost fleeting throughout. A medium to full bodied cigar, the velvety texture of this smoke lends itself to be matched perfectly with Dictador XO Rum or a cognac.

CIGARS
Pavo Real. This mild to medium-bodied cigar matches perfectly to Dictador gin and coffee.
This is primarily due to the six months in which the Connecticut wrapper ages in Dictador’s gin barrels – a process that imparts hints of coffee, mint and berries to the cigar. Blending the Dominican leaf wrapper with rich Jalapa Valley Nicaraguan leaf delivers a cigar rich in flavour with a hint of spice. This blend never overpowers and always allows its accompaniments to be the hero, thus living up to its named heritage – ‘the bird of many feathers’. Hints of soft spice and cedar gently fill the palate, offering a perfect balance between strength and complexity.
