I don’t know a lot about the backstory of the Attic Series but the previous (initial) releases of the Black and White series were very good smokes, well constructed but didn’t wow my palate. There was a lot of press before the PCA show about West Tampa and the return of former blender and brand ambassador for the CAO brand, Rick Rodriguez. I smoked both and enjoyed them but was hoping he’d make something more up my alley. This one did just that. Wow. Lots of cocoa and deep leather notes. The attractive, toothy dark brown Mexican San Andrés wrapper covers fillers from Condega and Estelí. The flavors noted above were found throughout the cigar, with some Nicaraguan spice popping up here and there along the way. Delicious smoke. I can’t wait for the other Attic Series cigars to drop later this year. Definitely one I’d smoke again.

Medium to full body with notes of coco, pepper, raisins and leather. Nicotine hit was full. My draw was a bit tight but nothing unmanageable. I would recommend to someone who has been smoking awhile. Overall, great stick!!
