I enjoyed this cigar. Probably best in the morning or a first cigar if anything. I’m interested in the other sizes.
Tasting notes: Wood, hay, almond, spices, subtle sweetness(citrus), consistency through out.

Cigar burned and smoked like a 15 dollar stick , its cigars like this that show me that quality can still happen at the sub 10 dollar level

Sweet, bready, with a dose of black pepper. For a corona there was a lot of complexity too. The draw was great but I knocked a star off for a few touch ups. Glad I tried it!

The Foreign Affair by Luciano Cigars is an outstanding corona-sized cigar that delivers a smoking experience like no other. The Foreign Affair blend is a result of a blend of premium tobaccos sourced from various countries, which is evident in the unique and delightful flavors that this cigar offers. From the first draw, the notes of coffee, caramel, and yeasty bread tantalize the taste buds, while the hints of heavy cream and toasted sesame seeds add depth and complexity to the smoking experience.
The cigar had a decent burn, evening out about halfway through, and the ash was a little flaky in the second third. The draw however is pleasantly snug, providing a generous smoke output and a satisfying mouthfeel. Whether you are a seasoned smoker or a newcomer to the world of cigars, the Foreign Affair by Luciano Cigars is a must-try. This cigar is a testament to the passion and craftsmanship of Luciano and is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who smokes it.
