Very different profile with the pipe tobacco. Picked up some interesting earthy flavors and the foot smoke was giving off a complex aroma.

Different and super enjoyable medium smoke cigar! Certainly is a different but interesting flavor profile. Not aromatic as No. 1 in the series but tasty with the pipe tobacco.

This was a very interesting cigar. Lots of sweetness, with a nice spice as well. There’s a black tea quality to it as well. Awesome construction, I got almost two hours out of this toro. Nothing less than what I would expect from Mr. Saka.
