Detailed Description
The Black Works Studio Rorschach series stands out as an artisan blend for enthusiasts who crave both convenience and complexity. The petite lancero features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan filler for a profile that starts off with sweet oak, black tea, coffee bean, and cream. As the cigar develops, notes of sour wheat, bread, candied lemon, white pepper, and earthy granola emerge, giving the smoke a multidimensional edge. The finish finds a creative interplay between salty, sour, sweet, and black pepper tones, even revealing hints of mustard powder and potato chip-like starch in the final third.
The Rorschach Sumatra, wrapped in a textured Sumatran leaf, is offered in a short robusto size for those who want depth in a shorter session. This blend is highlighted by intense notes of charred wood, black pepper, and an underlying sweetness—delivering a medium-plus body and captivating balance that will appeal to adventurous palates and beginners alike.
Each Rorschach iteration is celebrated for delivering artisan quality and an evolving, memorable smoking experience in under an hour. Choose your preferred vitola for a session packed with nuance, artistry, and boutique appeal—an essential addition to any serious cigar collection.
