One of the things I love the most about working for a cigar company is this time of year when we get to smoke samples for the new blends we are working on. I had to share this picture because of how dark and oily these beauties look.. I'll be lighting one up in a little bit..

How is the N level on these?
It can be hard to judge the N level on samples, because of the aging time. A lot of times the samples we smoke come straight from the rolling table. However, notes state that these cigars have about 40 days age on them. Still waiting on my boss to free up so we can go to lunch and smoke these together (he has the same samples).

The N level was normal for a darker/stronger cigar.. It tasted as good as it looked, there was a sweetness with an occasional bitter leather. It was like a classic good vs evil battle. I gave the cigar a fairly high rating, and time will tell if it gets tweaked, released, or thrown back into the blending book.

Thank you for this brother.

We have a few names for a cigar that would be stronger, which cigar this is for I can't say at this point, Since the blend hasn't been finalized. Without the right blend, the cigar could be on hold for another year.

So, what will this line be called once finished?

Gotcha...Thought there might be a name already slated for the blend while it's being finalized.
I think King Clint would be an awesome, and totally random name.... :)

First time I read the name idea it was missing a letter... My mind sometimes lives in the gutter.
