This is my favorite offering from this first class company. While it’s definitely medium to full bodied in strength, the totally unique bouquet of flavors this dark stick exudes never ceases to amaze me. Think a little bit of clove and caramel along with some chocolate and licorice. How’s that for complexity?

One of the greatest things about this edition is the oils from the fillers and binders are moving up to the wrapper. Don’t be surprised if you see PLUME on the cigar when you remove it from the tube. If you don’t know what PLUME is, check out my article in the “Ask Richie” section of this site. This is a medium to full bodied stick that’s sweet and spicy in that order. Throw in some hickory notes and increased intensity as you move along as well. Great cigar!
