This is one of the best cigars I’ve had in a very long time. The flavors are great. Not necessarily standard for an Ecuadorian blend, but when you smoke it you know it’s Ecuadorian really fast. Strength is a nice medium

This cigar is a real winner! It’s one I go back to again and again. Construction is good, the vitola is perfect and most importantly the flavor is great. Thick smoke with a subtle sweetness and some wood like notes. A must try if you haven’t.

Really impressed with the Vater — smooth, balanced, and flavorful without being overpowering. Loved how the spices and creamy finish developed over time. Definitely one I’d reach for again when I want an easygoing but classy smoke.

I very much enjoyed this one. It starts off very light but develops mixed woody tones and spices as well as definite sweet notes in the second half. The follow is long and has a pleasant earthy character. Definitely plan to add some more to the next order.
