A very clean cigar, silky textures and easy to enjoy. The final third went a bit dry and muted leading to the mid-range 80’s scoring.

Blackbird Cigar Co. introduces the Caballo 500 Lonsdale, exemplifying that meticulous craftsmanship can eliminate the need for extended aging. This revelation comes for Papo, Davidoff’s fastest and most skilled roller, known for crafting 500 cigars in a single eight-hour shift.
The Caballo 500 Lonsdale is the inaugural cigar produced at Blackbird’s new state of the art factory, and it ranks among the finest cigars I’ve experienced from the Dominican Republic. Its flavor profile is remarkably distinctive, reminiscent of sophisticated Thai cuisine or a premium margarita, making each smoking session unique and unforgettable.
