Casdagli is such a good brand that I recently have really been enjoying. I got a single of 13 blends including this one and almost all of them are an A+

I really enjoyed the Casdagli Brothers of the Sabre Epicurist—great construction, smooth draw, and flavors of cedar, hazelnut, and a little toastiness throughout. It’s an easy 4 stars for me. That said, the Vater just hits different—deeper, bolder, and more in line with what I reach for when I want something memorable.

First time trying this line – not gonna lie – I chose this first cause of the vitola and band design. Reminded me of a Byron design, but more affordable. The smoke was not too strong and not too light – think it can serve as a dessert stick or mid-day stick nicely.
