The Cochon Volant is one of the most distinctive cigars in the Aviator Series, both in form and in character. Its unusual closed-foot construction creates a memorable opening, allowing the first draws to deliver an immediate burst of wrapper flavor before the blend fully reveals itself. The result is an introduction that feels rich, aromatic, and unmistakably expressive, setting the tone for a cigar that unfolds with remarkable depth.

From the beginning, the smoke is dense and creamy, carrying an inviting balance of sweetness, spice, and soft wood notes. The profile opens with hints of cream, caramel, and roasted nuts, supported by touches of cedar and gentle spice that add structure without overwhelming the palate. As the cigar settles into its rhythm, additional layers begin to emerge—subtle herbs, toasted bread, and fleeting flashes of sweetness that drift in and out of focus.

As the smoke develops, the character deepens while maintaining the composure that defines the Aviator Series. The flavors grow darker and more textured, moving toward notes of coffee, cocoa, and warm spice while preserving the creamy foundation that carries the cigar from beginning to end. Each transition arrives gradually, allowing the smoker to experience a steady evolution rather than abrupt changes in profile.

Part of what gives the Cochon Volant its singular character is the tobacco itself. Two of the filler leaves are no longer grown, and once they disappeared from the market they simply could not be replaced. To preserve the character of the cigar, we set aside bales of these leaves exclusively for the production of Cochon Volant. Like every cigar in the Aviator Series, all of its components have all been aged for a minimum of five years, allowing the blend to develop the depth, balance, and aromatic richness that define the line.

The result is a cigar that feels both expressive and refined. The Cochon Volant offers richness, texture, and evolving flavor while remaining balanced and composed throughout the entire experience. Like the Aviator Series itself, it rewards attention and patience, revealing a smoke that is as elegant as it is memorable.
