finish
Explanation:
Or aftertaste.

That's what it's called in wine tasting, and it works just as well here.

"The last impression of a wine is the finish: The taste that stays on the palate after the wine has been swallowed."

agree  Sheri P: Perhaps 'length' also//Actually, no, not exactly the same thing.//Yes, you are right. One can also speak of the 'length of the finish'.

  -> Thanks, though I don't think that would work here because it says "accroche en bouche plus poivrée".

mouthfeel


Explanation:
I don't think this is necessarily just about the finish. Paragraph below is from the wikipedia article on mouthfeel and the example sentence is a tasting note for a Davidoff Aristocrat, but there are lots of other examples if you google "mouthfeel cigar".

It is evaluated from initial perception on the palate, to first bite, through mastication to swallowing and aftertaste. In wine-tasting, for example, mouthfeel is usually used with a modifier (big, sweet, tannic, chewy, etc.) to the general sensation of the wine in the mouth. Some people, however, use the traditional term texture.

Example sentence(s):
  • The body of the cigar is very present, and the mouthfeel smoke delivers beautiful flavours of chilli pepper and cedar wood in the beginning, leather and roasted flavours in the second third, and finishes off with creamy and nutty notes.
