The Botticelli, a magnificent cigar that is as much a work of art as its namesake, Sandro Botticelli. Inspired by the painter’s iconic “The Announcement,” this Salomon, measuring an impressive 7 ½ inches with a 58-ring gauge, has gained prominence not only among cigar aficionados but also in popular culture, famously celebrated by the Super Bowl Champions Los Angeles Rams and their quarterback, Matt Stafford.
The Botticelli cigar represents a moment of creation—mirroring the third day as described in biblical texts when the earth, sea, and plants were formed. This thematic depth is matched by its complex blend, which expertly balances a cereal nuttiness with profound earthiness. This large stick captures the essence of the earth’s bounty in its flavor profile, offering a medium-bodied strength that belies its fuller-bodied, more intense retrohale.
