Saka does it again…took one of my favorite lines and made it even better. Definitely a full-flavor cigar, but I enjoyed it the whole time

I’m a huge fan of the OG Sin Comprimiso, and this is a step up. The flavors are complex and full, and there’s just a richness here that is hard to describe. Excellent construction here too, even for Saka.

A flavor bomb that is bold but balanced, It has a bit of berry sweetness and some black pepper. It is never overwhelming.

The Pennsylvania Ligero certainly amps up the strength and boosts the flavors from the original Sin Comprimiso. Subtle flavor transitions. It has a perfect burn. Loved it so much I bought a box of them.
