Incredible sampler for the price. Every cigar in this set is delicious. I will definitely be purchasing again soon!
Repeated review, such an elegant smoke. The profile gives out sweet notes of cocoa and some earth. The presentation is great, as with every San Cristobal. The draw and burn were fantastic.
This Connecticut shade cigar offers a medium to medium full-bodied experience. It boasts excellent aromatic flavors of coca, black pepper spice, and earthy taste, all balanced by a creamy, nutty finish. Each flavor is well-executed and not overpowering. The smoke output is good, making it a must-have for any humidor.
TL;DR - wood, leather, and distant roasted peanut. A worthy Maduro representation. Recommended 👍 Aged 1+ years, dry-boxed 5 hours ⏳️ Pre-light is very light apricot. Light-up is easy 👌 Goldilocks construction and draw. Initial impressions: light wood and leather with distant roasted peanut. Burn 🔥 is even and reliable. Medium flavors and medium nicotine. Is this a keeper in my regular rotation? I'm leaning into "probably" if only because it represents what a Connecticut Maduro cigar "should be". It is a very well made linear cigar that stays clear of typical, dark (burnt) coffee and near burnt flavors found so often in other Maduro blends.
TL;DR - definitely has a core flavor of coconut milk 😋😋 Easily one of the most unique and finest cigars I've ever had. Highly recommended 👍 Aged 15 mos, dry-boxed 5 hours ⏳️ Pre-light is nougat candy bar. Wow. Oily appearance. Light-up is easy 👌 Starting core is creamy maduro spice. Goldilocks construction and draw. Initial impressions: it definitely develops a core of clove-spiced coconut milk 🥥 A little Cocoa arrives at the beginning of the second third. Seems like this one wants to be a journey cigar. Halfway through the Cocoa develops a pleasant bitterness. So I don't forget to say it, these cigars smell exceedingly good from just being in the room. Great aroma. Burn 🔥 is perfect and forgiving. Medium flavors and strong nicotine. Pairing ideas: yes, to creamy drinks like a craft mocha. I think spiced rum could pair well. Pecan or pistachio ice cream; that's the ticket. I also think most other liquors would overpower this creamy spiced experience.
Cedar and leather. A smooth linear smoke. Exceedingly well built and burns great.
This classic cigar produces a bold blend of spice and dark cherry. The draw is slightly open, producing a good bit of smoke output. The burn stayed incredibly even throughout. Intriguing profile in general throughout the smoke.
Just a good cigar. Smooth creamy burn and draw nearly perfect.
Very elegant Cuban style cigar, Extremely Smooth and great experience.
