Description

The El Septimo Raphael Robusto Extra belongs to the opulent Sacred Arts Collection, a premium robusto measuring precisely 6 inches by 50 ring gauge, honouring Renaissance master Raphael and the fourth day of creation through its Sistine Madonna motif. Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, it features a striking coppery maduro wrapper—oily and textured—over an Ecuadorian Habano binder, with fillers blending Dominican Piloto Cubano, Ecuadorian Habano, and Nicaraguan Jalapa for medium body across a captivating 60-minute experience. Initial draws reveal savoury peanut oil and bittersweet cocoa, laced with plump raisins and roasted coffee depth. Progression unveils charred cedar wood, baking spices, toasted hazelnuts, and herbal earthiness, balanced by creamy tobacco sweetness and subtle pepper zing. The finale intensifies with espresso richness, dark fruit compote, and a mineral retrohale, finishing impeccably clean and nuanced. Ideal for artistic evenings or meditative reflection, its flawless construction and layered evolution earn consistent 92+ acclaim. El Septimo transforms sacred inspiration into tobacco virtuosity—elegant power in every puff.
