Stogie Press Rating

Reviewed as a refined, well-balanced cigar with fruit, cream, nougat sweetness, caramel, cedar, dark chocolate, sweet floral nuance, and a subtle salty finish.

Flavor Journey

Dark, balanced, and distinguished.

Pre-Light

Mildly toothy dark-brown wrapper with a light oily sheen, cedar aromas, natural sweetness, and an intriguing nougat essence on the cold draw.

Opening

Creamy fruit and light spice begin the journey, with medium smoke volume and a clean white ash.

First Third

Nougat sweetness, caramel, and cedar build a rounded profile while the wrapper develops a beautiful oiling above the burn line.

Finish

Refined spice, dark chocolate, cedar, sweet floral notes, and a touch of salt carry the cigar to a cohesive medium-strength conclusion.

“A certain box buy for sure.”
