REVIEW

This well constructed cigar is almost chisel-tip, offering a round foot and a soft box pressed cap end. The Nicaraguan puros outer layer is thick in nature, with a smooth but modeled surface almost void of any prominent veining. The preignition aromas are delightful and reminiscent of a fresh box of raisins/prunes and cocoa. A straight cut leads to an open draw and the 1st review out of the “July” My Monthly Cigars Box.

A toast/light and an immediate and prominent toasted wood alongside some strong pepper, considering we are a dime in. Moving in an inch and the primary woody quality merges with a general baking spice. Medium in strength and burning well, the finish lingers with the same but magnified forward qualities.

Moving toward the end of the 1/3, a nasal burn is felt during the retrohale. The notes are quite consistent and this transposes to the burn line, in which a monolithic gray ash builds on a thin ash fringe. Getting into the 2/3 and certainly a medium +. The consistent notes ramp in richness as a toasted sugar is found deep in the finish.


Toasted sugar? Think overdone marshmallows or a cream brûlée for those who indulge. Well passed the ½ way point and still consistent, although the strength of the experience does see an increase into near full. If you are a mild smoker, this may test your limits.

Into the last 3rd and you guessed it, consistent. The finish is an oily and peppery explosion and lasts for days. There is also the mildest of orange peels and walnut very deep in the finish as we continue to the conclusion.


The nub is “set the mothership to the nearest sun, full speed”. A pepper bomb of sorts, with notes of heavily toasted wood and cloves and medium plus/full strength Although not a complex journey, the notes that are present, alongside a legendary combustion only craves me to repeat the experience.
