Incredible sampler for the price. Every cigar in this set is delicious. I will definitely be purchasing again soon!
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.
