First time trying this blend. This cigar appears to have a high quality wrapper with minimal veins and a light brown color. This one opens up with a nutty oak flavor that is medium in body. Draw is snug but smoke output is perfect. A sweetness quickly joins the profile with a savory finish. There is minimal pepper on the retro with a light spice on the palate. Box worthy stick if you’re into a medium cigar that is packed full of flavor and complexity.

First time trying these as I’ve been on a tatuaje kick lately and hadn’t tried these yet, but boy was I glad u did. These were absolutely splendid. Nice toasted almonds, grass and some pepper. There was definitely strength behind this that I thoroughly enjoyed. There was tons of flavor from this. Construction was on point. Would definitely smoke this again.

Everything that comes out of the Miami factory is gold. The flavors throughout the cigar are mineral, hay, red pepper, molasses sweetness, dark fruit, and espresso. It is very complex and every puff/retro you’ll find a different flavor. I know it sounds like a semi weird combination of flavors but they come together so beautifully.

This is a beautiful little smoke. Nice oily wrapper, very well put together. The flavors are bold, deep and peppery with a slightly bitter chocolate, Anne on the finish there’s almost a cherry syrup sweetness to it that makes it all make sense. There power here too. If this was a toro or bigger even though I enjoy the flavors I’d have trouble handling the nicotine I think. Perfect size. A little pricey for such a small cigar, but it’s worth it.
