Irish Roast splits the difference between the Connecticut and the Brazilian — a Habano wrapper that brings some spice without the heavy sweetness of the maduro leaf.
Toasted grain, black pepper on the retrohale, and a caramel note that comes forward in the second half. Of the three roasts this is the most balanced, and the one that changes the most from light to nub.
