Description

The El Septimo Botticelli Salomon from the Sacred Arts Collection is a commanding figurado masterpiece measuring precisely 7½ inches by 58 ring gauge at the head, honouring Sandro Botticelli’s The Announcement and symbolising creation’s third day—earth, sea, and burgeoning plants. Handcrafted in Costa Rica with a lustrous Ecuadorian wrapper, matching binder, and premium fillers from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Nicaragua, this medium-bodied marvel unfolds over a captivating 65-95 minute ritual of profound evolution. From ignition, herbal sweetness greets alongside charred cedar and warm cloves, building into vibrant red pepper spice and liquorice anise depth. The core third blooms with earthy minerality, roasted nuts, dark berries, and subtle cocoa whispers, seamlessly balanced by creamy tobacco elegance and gentle white pepper transitions. Nearing completion, the tapered design concentrates intense fruit compote, polished leather, and lingering salinity, finishing impeccably clean and rewarding to the nub. Ideal for contemplative afternoons or artistic gatherings, its flawless construction and layered symphony capture El Septimo’s luxury ethos—divine complexity in every draw.
