This was a cigar developed with the world’s biggest seller of Cuban cigars, Phoenicia. The company had a prestigious tasting in Havana in 2015 during the Habanos Festival to finalize the blend and wrapper, and this is what they finally delivered. This is a superb smoke with so much flavor and power. It reminds me of the great Ramon Allones of the early 1990s. So much dark chocolate, coffee bean and spice character. It lasts for minutes on the palate. It starts off fresh and clean and develops wonderfully on the palate. Rich and opulent aftertaste. A cigar that will improve with age but delivers so much already. The filler has three years of age.
Price: $14.75
