Oscar Valladares McFly

This cigar is a full octane pepper and spice bomb that coats the nostrils, mouth and throat, was even hit with a bit of nicotine on both samples. Smoked like a dream both times with a solid ash, stable burn and tons of thick smoke. The first half of the cigar presented fruity pepper & baking Spices on the retrohale. The second was a black pepper bomb. The flavor profile became taxing to my palate and nearing the final third felt monotonous without any depth. I could see the full body banger guys and gals scoring it high 80’s but for my palate it scores in the mid-70s range!

I originally started smoking cigars around 2002 right after I turned 18; this was my attempt at “coolness”. What happened throughout the years though turned into true romance of the leaf. Cigars are passion, calmness and clarity mixed with the joy of collecting and community with a splash of nostalgia!
