TL;DR - an exquisite smoke. Mostly Cedar, coffee and hazelnut. The Nougat retro in the finish is seriously cool 😎 Recommended 👍 Aged 16 mos, dry-boxed 4.5 hours ⏳️ Light-up is easy 👌 Goldilocks construction and draw. Initial impressions: cedar and coffee to start. Hazelnut makes an appearance later in the smoke. Leather and caramel in the last third, and the Nougat finish at the end saves this otherwise linear cigar. Mixed baking spices show up in the long finish. Burn 🔥 is excellent. Amongst the best I've encountered in this regard. Medium flavors and medium nicotine. Pairing ideas: whiskey and scotch seem obvious.
Very consistent. You really can't go wrong with these if you you enjoy the chocolate notes. Burn and draw have been impeccable each time. I'm sure these have been reviewed at nausem but they are a good cigar
Nice cigar. Repeat review. I enjoy these and stocked up on them before having the maduro version. Not sure what I was thinking as I love maduros. These are good but the maduro is great. Not complaining but sometimes you get ahead of yourself.
Flavorful and smooth. The box pressed shape and feel really enhanced the experience. Gave the band to my brother while on the course as an instant recommendation. I’ll be stocking up.
