We love red, white, and blue, but El Septimo Travel Time Paris cigars celebrate the blue, white, and red – our oldest ally – France. The Travel Timeline of blends is built to honor some of the world’s most famous cities, and Paris is definitely in the top ten. Instantly recognizable, the City of Light, the City of Love has captivated people’s hearts and souls for centuries, and it seems will always do so.

Art, food, culture, and the high life are all at home in “Paree,” and this is a smoke that will take you there (at least in your mind).

El Septimo has built most blend lines around premium tobacco, especially long-aged leaf. For Travel Time Paris, the blending team went with 7-year-old tobacco. This brings in the refined sophistication that the French are still known for – a taste for luxury and artisanship. They generally disdain that which is low quality, and so there’s a fairly high bar to pass here. Fortunately, El Septimo works hard to create something balanced and interesting, that will satisfy the discriminating consumer of tobacco.

El Septimo Travel Time Paris cigars feature a dark Maduro wrapper, communicating the earthy sweetness that one can expect by lighting it up. The smoke delivers and brings in oak and spice to complement the classic Maduro notes and take the blend in a more interesting direction. These toasty, piquant flavors remind us that Paris is not simple saccharine sweetness, but complexity, force of opinion, and spiritedness that is always one sharp comment away.

Touring the world is challenging, but lighting up is easy. City of Light, meet a cigar in need of a light. Can’t find your lighter? Quel dommage. C’est la vie, non?
