The Face has the best-looking design of the new Redux series. It’s unfortunate the cigar isn’t as amazing as the original release. It’s alright. It’s not going to WOW you though.

The face has been a top 3 release for me this year even with the MSA burnout. Medium in strength, medium-full in body. Through and through the flavors were spicy milk chocolate. The more you got through it, the more chocolate came out. The retro has a mild pepper/spice burn. Construction was flawless as usual with tatuaje. If you find them, get them.

The Face was fantastic. Medium full body but closer to full strength, it creeps up on you a bit so take your time with it. Nice milk chocolate and pepper mix, with an assortment of baking spices to be picked out on the finish. The construction was spot on too!
