C5 Black derives its name and essence from "El Corte Cinco", or the Fifth Priming—the crucial stage in tobacco harvesting when the uppermost leaves of the plant are carefully selected. These sun-drenched leaves are prized for their intense strength, deep complexity, and rich, full-bodied character, making them the perfect foundation for this bold and dynamic blend.
At the heart of C5 Black lies a meticulously aged, high-priming wrapper that sets the tone for an unforgettable smoking experience. This exquisite leaf envelops a blend of hand-selected tobaccos from two of Honduras’ most esteemed growing regions, chosen for their ability to enhance the cigar’s intensity while maintaining exceptional balance.
From the first draw, C5 Black captivates with an explosion of dark cocoa, espresso, and pepper, awakening the senses with its commanding presence. As the cigar develops, layers of earth, leather, and roasted nuts emerge, seamlessly interwoven with a natural sweetness that rounds out the profile. The retrohale introduces a touch of oak and spice, adding further depth and refinement.
With its bold construction, complex transitions, and rich, lingering finish, C5 Black is designed for those who crave power without sacrificing sophistication—a true connoisseur’s cigar, delivering a potent yet nuanced journey from first light to final ash.
