Description
The Cavalier Genève Black II Petit N2 is a 4 3/4 x 52 that halfwheel calls a petit torpedo; Nicaraguan binder and filler sit under its Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Both halfwheel and Cigar Coop credit its rolling to the Honduran factory Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A.
What It Tastes Like
halfwheel’s review (updated October 31, 2024) is the only independent tasting we found. It describes dry earth trading places with a powdery cream early, a dry cappuccino note and growing woodiness in the middle, then damp soil, ever-stronger black pepper and a cola-syrup sweetness to close.
Who It’s For
- Fans of a tapered head wanting Black II under five inches.
- Pepper lovers: halfwheel tracked pepper building through the last third.
- Smokers who prefer moderate strength, since halfwheel never rated it above medium-minus.

About the Black II Line
halfwheel traces Black II (its Black Series II) to 2017, when it launched as a nod to a Geneva tobacco business founded in 1905 that Cavalier Genève acquired that year. The Petit N2 arrived at the 2024 PCA trade show as a size shared with White Series and BII Viso Jalapa.
