Incredible sampler for the price. Every cigar in this set is delicious. I will definitely be purchasing again soon!
Great flavor. Strong chocolate flavor creamy and smooth. Draw is a bit airy and cigar is loosely packed. This caused it to smoke rather quickly but not overly hot and burn was decent. Nice treat for a mid day smoke on a 70 spring day in Michigan
TL;DR - recommended, though not unique enough to be my cup of tea. 👎
5 mos aged ⏳️
Prelight is an agreeable apricot. 😋 Construction great. Draw a little tight; opens up over the course of the smoke. Light-up is easy. First third Cedar. There is a chemical-like undertone that carries through almost the entirety of the smoke. It's not terrible but it is the core flavor of the smoke. Not my preference.
Second third hazelnut mixes in.
This is a medium strength cigar with dark flavor impressions.
I think this would pair well with a root-beer, Coke or a whiskey... or a whiskey-Coke! I don't think wine, beer or coffee would pair well.
Aged 5mo. Punch cut. Draw and burn both excellent 👌. Medium bodied with rich and balanced flavors. Flavors of cedar chocolate and spice. A favorite.
Aged 4mo. Burn a little uneven, draw great. Bold rich and smooth. Flavors of chocolate, espresso, pepper and earth. Great pairing with a mild black coffee.
Aged 2 months. Started very spicy but calmed down into a smooth creamy smoke after first third. Draw perfect. Burn great. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, and cedar and a touch of earth. Paired great with the Glendronach 12-Year-Old
Creamy, nutty, and slightly spicy. Burn good. Draw excellent. Paired with rye whiskey.
3 month in humidor. Vcut. Good draw. Burn wavy. Flavors of pepper, cedar, chocolate and a little caramel. No pairing.
First time smoking an AB Prensado since the acquisition by Scandanavian Tobacco Group. Still a unique smoke in a world where tastes are converging. Construction was a bit off. Wrapper was veiny, seams apparent. A step down from Alan Rubin's standards.
