Tasting Notes: First Third- The inaugural puffs are a bombardment of sensory extremes, a red pepper cream taht collides with undercurents of oak and leather, while an ensemble of chocolate notes play in the background. The retrohale? A merciless red pepper blast- pure, unapologetic firecracker intensity. A wakeup call that’s not for your morning coffee.
Second Third- As you navigate the med-section of this cigar, it’s as if you’ve dared to dance with the devil himself. The spiciness intensifies, with red pepper and leather becoming more pronounced, the oak providing a sturdy backdrop. Every draw is a spicy challenge; heed our advice: do not attempt a retrohale unless you’re ready for a jolt of pure heat.
Final Third- Approaching the end, “The Little Fire” shows no sign of extinguishing its spicy core, though it does begin to smooth out. The red pepper, oak, and leather blend seamlessly with the lingering chocolate, crafting a final act that is both powerful and contemplative. The finish is long, leaving a spicy yet satisfying imprint on the palate.
Pairing Suggestions: This cigar demands a strong companion-think high proof whiskey. The robustness of the whiskey complements the intense flavors of the cigar, making for a pairing that is as bold and uncompromising as the cigar itself. For the non drinkers, think dark chocolate. Consider vanilla ice cream before, after, or during. White chocolate will work as well as vanilla birthday cake.

“OMG! Yes, that is all you need to know!” On a serious note though, 5/5 for the price of $10 and everything you get out of this. You will not be disappointed.
