Rolled at Joya de Nicaragua in Esteli, it opens with black pepper and cedar from the Sun Grown cap before easing into creamier ground — toasted almond, white pepper, and a smooth Connecticut sweetness on the finish. The capping technique traces back to Steve Saka's late-1990s work on La Especion, making this as much a personal statement as a technical one.
