This was my favorite of the Valacaris, and it’s not close. Really nice looking wrapper, great construction, and conneticut done just the way I like it. There’s plenty of flavor here, to not macanudo cafe, but its still refined and easy going. Nutty, sweet, a little white pepper to keep me interested. I’ll smoke this one again. If you are a fan of Perdomo Champagne this is one to try.

I’m a huge fan of Connecticut wrapped cigars and this was absolutely delicious. Gorgeous looking stick. This was mighty tasty. I got cashews, bread and cedar from this. To me this never got above medium. Construction was great. Draw was perfect and a good burn. The last 2 thirds of the cigar were by far the tastiest. Would not hesitate to pick up a bundle of these! As always great price from Oxford on this winner!

Medium-bodied blend that kicks things off with a unique blast of tangerine citrus and sweet cream before shifting into a sophisticated mix of baking spices, earth, and cedar. This isn’t a lawn-mowing cigar; it uses a punchy Nicaraguan core (including Jalapa and Ometepe tobacco) to make sure you actually feel like you’re smoking something substantial.
