Rothschild
Robusto · 45–60 min smoke · Short and thick — the modern default. Plenty of filler for body in a contained, hour-or-less smoke.
At the counter · Forgiving — clean guillotine cut; toast the wide fully before the first draw to avoid a hot start.
Tasting
A 5 x 48 rothschild in the rustic-looking Umbagog value line, its Henry Clay-style '2LS' broadleaf wrapper delivering cocoa, coffee, earth and pepper well beyond its price. · Released 2024
Specification
Pairs with
Caramel and honey echo the port's nutty raisin sweetness for a dessert-like close.
Corn-sweet vanilla underlines the confectionary notes already in the smoke.

Cigar press, enthusiast communities, and your own log — all in one place.
“Nuttiness and creaminess get accented by black pepper, with touches of a fresh-baked pretzel with a swipe of butter; flavor and body medium-plus, strength medium-minus.”Read on halfwheel
“Rugged, no nonsense, and way more interesting than it looks. Dry earth and black pepper galore. Campfire feeling. Burnt dark chocolate. Bold, gritty, and weirdly comforting.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
“Smoke, draw, and burn were excellent. A bit of spice, and sweet/sour on the initial light and first inch. Sour faded into smooth, tabaccoo flavor. Second half till the end was woody and leathery. I'll definitely buy another bundle of these.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
“For the first 1/3, I taste semi sweet Corn Pops cereal, Brazil nut, and rich cedar. The final 1/3 of this smoke is straight salted pretzel with the addition of some mushroom funk. Killer smoke, uncomplicated, perfect for anytime.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
