Description
Wrapper: Dominican Habano
Binder: HVA
Fillers: Dominican, Peruvian
Body: A combination of cedar and molasses notes.
Foot: A blend of cedar and honey-roasted almond scents.
Cold Draw: Flavors of molasses, freshly cut cedar, honey-roasted almonds, and yellow raisins.
Tasting Notes: The first third offers a legendary experience with flavors of sesame seed oil, cedar, white flowers, black pepper, horseradish, candied ginger, and unripe mango, all wrapped up in a light, oily smoke texture. There’s a certain satisfaction reminiscent of bacon, but not in terms of flavor. Additionally, the retrohale features a beautiful cinnamon note.
The second third introduces honey-roasted almonds, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, aged cedar, menthol, and cinnamon. There’s a note that resembles rubbing bourbon between your hands, which melds with the cedar. A hint of tree sap and dark chocolate join the mix as you progress.
The final third presents sweet woods and milk chocolate that melt in your mouth, accompanied by cinnamon and a slight touch of crème de menthe. Faint wisps of bourbon barrel intermingle with powdery and creamy smoke. Musty olor notes, common in high-end Dominican cigars, also make an appearance. This cigar is truly special.
Pairing Notes: Black coffee, earl grey tea, bourbon, aged rum, tawny port, cognac, dark chocolate, chocolate-covered almonds, charcuterie board, roasted nuts, caramel desserts, creamy pastries, candied ginger, grilled meats.

Just smoked the one from the October box. Very interesting stick. I was amazed at the flavors. Completely made me think of corn flakes and the sweetened milk at the end of a bowl of a certain cereal “that will remain unnamed”. Needed to buy a few more!

This thing was awesome. Easily one of my favorite cigars I have smoked. The sweetness and creaminess of the flavors reminded me of cocoa puffs at times and a chocolate swirled sourdough bread at others. I also had it with some black coffee that had some citrus flavors in it that seemed to amp up the sweetness and breakfast cigar vibes. Just an awesome experience through and through.
