This cigar surprised me, and I am glad it did. Both review samples were in perfect condition and presented no issues. Overall, this is a cigar that I could keep in rotation in my humidor all year round. Try this one with iced, unsweetened black tea.

The first third brought notes of black pepper, cedar and baker’s chocolate. It offered a slight sweetness in the mouth feel, and the retro hale was full of black pepper. It burned well and was a fantastic start to a review experience.

The transitions on this cigar were surprising. It quickly turned into sweet graham cracker, salty peanuts, and a great umami. There was also a zesty citrus note that kept popping up in the mix.

Great finish to both samples reviewed – the flavors remain consistent throughout the remaining third, including the black pepper on the retrohale.
