At the counter · Straight guillotine just above the line; toast the evenly and keep the pace easy on the slim ring.

“1/3 Earth notes, a little hay on the first handful of draws. Somewhat harsh. As I get into it a bit, black coffee emerges with a faint pleasant creaminess on the finish.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
“This thing is great: a little pepper, a little sweetness and chocolate, and some dried dark fruits. Never had this til today, and if it holds up like this it may be my next box. 9/10 would recommend.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
