I’ve smoked Byrons over the years and they are consistent and delicious. Medium bodied, the usual cedar, cream, light spice and flawless burn can be expected. All great things from Byron, always.

At the beginning of the cigar, it has a bit of a heavy taste, black pepper and earthy taste. It feels like the so-called secret formula has some Nicaraguan tobacco leaves. When the taste stabilizes, it is a very soft smoke, lacking in oil, and tastes slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is very sweet, with a concentration of medium to heavy.
In the middle, the soft smoke still exists, with a slight rubbery taste, a fruity sorghum flavor, and a little milky taste, which can be described as cream. At this time, the black pepper in the front section completely disappears, and the concentration is medium.
At the end, the bitterness rises again, which is a fatal flaw in a cigar that costs $30. Fortunately, the smoke is still smooth,

Dark chocolate all the way thru! Althought what kinds of tobacco leaves used are undisclosed, I taste a lot of Nicaraguan in it. Very very creamy and sweet, with after taste of black coffee. The construction is also perfect, very dense all the way. Highly recommend for lovers of bitterness/sweet taste.

Amazing smoke. My favorite of the byron lines so far. Hay, bread, nougat sweetness, cedar, and starting at the halfway mark, spice slowly builds until the nub. The finish is very long-lasting and the flavors are rich. This is a slow-smoking cigar, so while the upfront cost is indeed on the higher end, you get a strong value. I’ll come back to these for an occasional treat.

The first inch or so had me thinking I overpaid. Good but not 30 dollars good. By yhe time the nub was burning my lips I realized I was wrong. What a phenomenal cigar.

Perfectly even color on the wrapper leaf.
1/3 White pepper and faint cedar. As the cigar warmed up I was expecting an uptick in the flavor notes… nope. towards the end of the 1/3, it starts to get nutty.
2/3 A zesty orange note with chocolate hints.
3/3 Same notes from the 2/3… hmm. Not good.
This cigar has flawless construction. With this price point, they really need to kick into gear in the flavor department.
