REVIEW

Available in the April 2023 Box #47 from the My My Monthly Cigars subscription service, we see a nicely constructed cigar. Noted is the wrapper, which is oily, tea-like in patina, almost void of veins and boasts a red hue. The pre light aromas are pungent and offers a heavy barnyard/manure quality to the olfactory. A straight cut to a well placed cap leads to an unrestricted draw

A toast/light and right into some introductory notes of raisins, toasted bread and a mineral iron quality. The retro has a nasal tickle as the finish is already quite flavorful and offers some dark cocoa on the pallet. An inch in and moving into a medium experience as bakers spices of cinnamon and cloves mixes over an extremely tasty oily and peppery pallet.

Into the 2/3 we see an impeccable burn with some bright ash stacking on a thick ash fringe. What is developing is a powerful offering of flavors. The bakers' spices, mineral notes and a dark cocoa culminate on the mouth and finish, which lasts forever. Reaching the midway point, we move into medium+ and continue a consistent pallet.

Into the concluding 3/3 we continue a very savory experience. The pepper value is offered from the baker's spices as the consistency continues. Alongside this consistency is a perfect burn and a focal-point on the finish and specifically on the pallet/mouth. As we progress to the nub we reach a full cigar strength. The finish has built up in strength as well and offers a eucalyptus and an intense raw sugar taste to join such an absolutely fantastic experience.

An impeccably constructed, blended and non typical cigar that a medium to full smoker would surely enjoy.
