These are very good. Tons of chocolate and coffee with the perfect amount of leather and spice to balance it. There is a lot going on in the profile here and all of it is good. The construction was also very nice. Excited to see what Tim puts out there next, I’m glad he’s back!

This stick is a winner. Vanilla sweet cream, caramel and pinch of cinnamon spice on the retro. Syrupy and creamy smoke texture. Medium to full in flavor, definitely grabbing more of these.

They say you shouldn’t buy a book based on its cover but the presentation from box to cigar is eye catching and lends a nod to the fine cigar this is. This smoke was more of a medium bodied smoke, with caramel notes and coffee and cream. The ash was a little flaky, but provided tons of smoke, with an excellent draw. Would smoke again.
