Very consistent cigar with light flavor notes.
Tabacalera SYN was founded by Joseph Casimir nearly 30 years after his cigar journey began. After seeing a magazine ad for a cigar that read “only 0.0000…1% of the world’s population gets to smoke this cigar, the rest are just poor bastards,” the seed was planted. He wanted to make cigars accessible, not unattainable. Juan Rodriguez has been rolling and blending cigars for more than 35 years and leads Tabacalera SYN. SYN works with Leo Reyes of De Los Reyes — one of the most prolific growers in the Dominican Republic — to source the raw materials necessary to craft SYN cigars.

Pre-light draw perfect taste of tobacco
Initial flavor is coffee, creamy retrohale with no spice. Tobacco core, slight molasses-like sweetness.
Midway point flavors consists of coffee and leather. Retrohale creamy still, no spice with tobacco being the background flavor.
Final third had one big relight and one touch up from the wrapper splitting. Flavors continued with coffee and leather notes, big tobacco flavor towards the end no real noticeable changes. More cream on the retrohale with a little bit of spice added towards the end.
