It is said that La Meridiana was the premium line introduced before 1888. It seems to place more emphasis on the natural character of fermented tobacco, rather than the sweetness and aroma that 1888 pursues. The first third has cedarwood and roasted chestnut notes. The middle becomes richer, with cocoa and earthy notes remaining prominent, accompanied by roasted grain flavors. The final third brings dried-fruit notes and begins to turn bitter.
Original : 据说La Meridiana是早于1888推出的高端线,感觉更强调烟草发酵的本味,而不是1888更追求的香甜。前段是雪松木香、烤栗子味。中段开始变得浓郁,可可、泥土持续突出,烘烤谷物味道出现。尾段有干果味,开始发苦。
