Guardian of the Farm Cerberus

Any time a cigar manufacturer advertises the use of medio tiempo leaves, I immediately take a moment before deciding to light up. Medio tiempo leaves, part of the ligero leaves, are very strong. My concern was that this Guardian of the Farm was going to be on the strong side. I was pleasantly surprised. Don’t get me wrong, the Cerberus is definitely full of bold flavors, but it also possesses depth, complexity, and nuance. Nothing ever overwhelms you like the mythical Cerberus would. I would instead interpret it as a “hound of hades” that someone has domesticated. Is this a morning cigar? Probably not. Is it an afternoon cigar? Yes. And it could certainly stand up after a nice steak dinner. The flavor progression of the Cerberus weaves notes of chocolate, nuts, wood, baking spices, pepper, and a wonderful earthy note together almost seamlessly. The hints of floral accentuate the sweetness and tone down the bitterness. The Cerberus is more than worthy to be a Guardian of the Farm.
