Villiger

I can see—and taste—why this is such a highly-rated cigar. It’s beautiful, it lights easily and draws purely, and the flavor is quite pleasant. The ash is strong, and the oily wrapper just oozes quality. This was a nice way to end the late afternoon of my final year of college teaching.

Deadwood Tobacco

Smoooooooooooooth. The sweet cap was an unexpected but pleasant touch. Easy light and draw, and the retrohale has intensity without bite. This is what a cigar should be and punches wel above its price point, in my opinion. This is my new, current go-to smoke. The second and final third had much more bite and wood flavor, but this is just a great cigar.

Blackbird

Deep pepper on retrohale. Nice smoke.
