This brand redefines budget cigars. Socrates has a dark chocolate wrapper which smells of barnyard and must.
I straight cut the soft box press and notice the draw is snug. Smoke output is satisfactory. Initial flavors are sweet tobacco, chalky chocolate, and malt. Light pepper on the finish which is greatly intensified with retrohales. The ash has a light grey color with contrasts nicely with the dark wrapper.
The flavor really begins to develop five minutes in. Sweet Mexican San Andreas tobacco with hot chocolate notes. Burn line is perfect despite the humidity out. The pepper on the retro has calmed down and I’m getting tons of mouth watering cocoa. This blend is more complex than the Cyclopes. Flavors are consistent and enjoyable. This isn’t the best MSA I’ve ever had but 5 stars are earned due to the price and experience.
