Description
Tasting Notes: On the body, I get oats, sweet tobacco, and half and half cream. The foot is red wine vinegar and dried peach. The cold draw is Cheerios, apricot tea, dried fruits, and sweet grass. The first third is honey nut cheerios, amaretto, green tea, and white pepper. I get some roasted nuts, sweet creamy smoke, and a buttery quality. I keep waiting for the standard Connecticut shade bitterness to arrive and it never happens. Super impressed thus far. The second third begins with hints of florals, sweet croissant, creamy smoke, buttery mouth feel and more of the oats/grain. There is also an ever so slight citrus that reminds me of sprite. The final third gets warmer and rounder in flavor. The almond reappears along with buttered toast. There is a lemongrass citrus and the florals are present as well. Reminds me of chai tea. If I didn’t know any better I would think this is a Cuban cigar in the final third. Pairing notes: Coffee all day. I call this the Good Morning for a reason. Tea with honey. After a breakfast of pancakes or French toast. With an espresso that has some sugar and a lemon rind. With a cream or root beer soda. After an Italian sandwich or a BLT (Uncle Paulie’s makes the best BLT you will ever have). With brandy, bourbon, dry white wine or pilsner beer. With caramel or white chocolate anything or after a bowl of cereal. Please tag @unclepauliesdeli and show some love the Privada way. Next time you are in Los Angeles stop in for a sub and tell them PCC sent you. PEACE!

Best morning smoke I have had to date and a lancero! Frankly I just wanted to bite into it thinking it was a breadstick.

Amazing stick! It definitely is box worthy! This cigar would taste great right after an Italian sub. If you love J. London or Atabey, don’t hesitate and pick up a few and enjoy.

one of my favorite sticks to have (either vitola) with a morning coffee…worth stocking up on for sure!

Man what a stick to have with a cup of coffee in the morning. Flawless burn, smooth creamy smoke. Will most definitely buy again.

Nothing beats a nice Lancero early in the am or after work!

Fantastic stick! I have found other great Connecticut’s but under $10, I’ve only had two (Uncle Paulie’s and Henry Clay War Hawk). Hopefully these come back in stock soon
