What a great cigar. The Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper give this beauty an oily, chocolatey appearance. The triple cap is impeccable and the construction is flawless. The burn is true while producing a firm grey/white ash. The 50 ring gauge is perfect for allowing your tongue to be coated with a myriad of complex flavors, each of which hits all the right spots to proudly announce their existence. This one starts out peppery and finesses into a truly complex, extremely well balanced flavor bomb. Full bodied and full flavored, this one finishes long and strong. This is a man’s cigar.

My J. Peterman review
I picture myself as a frontiersman. I staked my claim during the rush and I built my town from my mountains of gold. I spend my evenings in the private room at my tavern where I play poker with other notable gentlemen. My face is strong; my shoulders are broad; my stature is powerful. My clothes are trimmed in the richest of velvets. I drink the finest whiskey from my crystal glass. I smoke this cigar.
Other notes
The 50 ring gauge puts your mouth in the perfect position to allow the flavors to hit your tongue right where they need to. I shped my mouth like I would when smoking a lancero and my god, this blend would rock as a lancero. That would be super ballsy on Dan’s part to introduce a house stick lancero. Might be tough to unload all of them, but man it would be good.
I'm dont' recall how young these cigars are. I'm sure dan told me, but i must have spaced out while staring in awe at the enormous stash he has acquired in a short time, all of which is focused around his impeccable taste. Rgardless, these cigars are young and lively at the moment. They are still amazingly good, but a few months of age will help settle them down a bit, and more age will do wonderful things.
If you put a band with a name on these cigars, they would easily fly off the shelves at $13.00 each. At the price they will go for, they are an absolute steal.
