By the end, this is definitely the strongest and spiciest of the Stillwell Stars. I liked it, but not as much as the Aromatic or the Navy. I’ve got a few more that I think I’ll let age a few years. I’ve fun to pull one out and see what happens.

I wanted to give this one a try since Oxford still had a few in stock, but it’s not one I would come back to. I prefer the Holiday blends in the Stillwell Star for sure. Glad I tried it but just wasn’t for me.

I am really enjoying the pipe tobacco Steve Saka is putting into the StillWell lineup. This cigar definitely delivered in terms of complexity. There was little doubt of the fact that I was puffing on pipe tobacco in this cigar. The tasting notes I am getting are earthy spices, grass, fruity note like fig blended with citrus, wood. A large part is a smoky flavor from the pipe tobacco.
