Cigarillos

RH 67-70% 25C

Just excellent. A mainstay for any humidor and Connecticut shade aficionado.

First Third:
Creamy and buttery start
Hints of cedar, toast, and a touch of white pepper
Soft nuttiness (cashew-like)

Second Third:
Flavors deepen slightly, with vanilla and light caramel notes
More pronounced cedar and toast
Pepper stays in the background

Final Third:
Slight uptick in spice and body
Notes of almond skin and dry earth
Creamy finish persists with a toasty core

I was looking for an everyday stick that is good with great flavour. My friend gave me a couple of Bravos Maduro/Habano and instantly after smoking the cigar. I was like There is no way is that good. I found out that this stick was rolled on the Plasencia factory. A well known family with great reputation of making high end Cigars. This is one of my daily smoke now. I already purchased another bundle from SMS.
Highly recommend SMS to all my friends. Cheers🥃

Nice smoke. I would buy again.

The purchase and shipping experience from Smoke Master Cigars was excellent, the product arrived in perfect condition. These are a milder version of the original Talon cigars and provide a go to daily option.

Storage: 68-71% 25C

Mellow-to-medium bodied cigar that offers a smooth and approachable experience. Almost a perfect Connecticut shade. Plenty of creamy smoke, not harsh or overly bitter. Smooth throughout except in the final where suddenly it punches you in the face.

First Third:

Cream
Toasted almonds.
Hints of hay and vanilla.

Second Third:

Light cedar
Touch of citrus zest.
Some sweetness, like honey.

Final Third:

Nutty core remains.
Slight white pepper or soft spice builds toward the end.
Creaminess tapers into a drier, woodier finish with a punch.

Draw: Consistently smooth thanks to the large ring gauge.
Burn: Even, with a solid ash.
Smoke Output: Ample and fragrant.

Pairing Suggestions:
Coffee with cream or milk.
A wheat beer or light lager.

Storage: RH 68-71% 26C

First Third:
Expect a blast of cocoa, espresso, and earthy spice. There's a noticeable sweetness from the maduro wrapper, balanced with black pepper on the retrohale.

Second Third:
Notes of leather, toasted nuts, and cedar start to dominate. The smoke remains dense and oily, with some espresso bitterness mellowing out.

Final Third:
Bolder flavors come through — dark chocolate, earth, and a return of spice with a touch of charred wood. Strength ramps up slightly toward the nub.

Generally well-constructed for its size. Produces a long ash with a slow, even burn.
Tight draw at first due to the thick ring gauge, but opens up nicely.

Pairing Suggestions
Beverage: A bold espresso, dark rum, or a peaty scotch (like Ardbeg 10 or Lagavulin 16).

Beer: Imperial stout or a porter with roasted malt character.

my everyday smoke, wrappers are very thin and a lot of times are peeling off. Most of these cigars have chucks of whatever in them and this makes it hard to draw. I made a stainless rod to push through the cigar to free it up, this works great. I was impressed with the fast delivery, keep up the good work

Arrived in good condition and on time. I've had these before and I liked them so I re-ordered them

Very nice flavor, my new favorite daily smoke.

Dark chocolate and cocoa on my palate, roasted, salted cashew notes shine through the retrohale, little bit black pepper on the back but certainly not a spice bomb, just enough to add depth without overwhelming the senses. Very approachable, tons of flavour, firm draw, very stable quality control, and God I love the shade of blue on the band! Overall a very nice go-to stick, especially for espresso lovers.

Very please with the service and product

Good draw perfect burn
Enjoyed them right down to the end. I will buy them again.

The packaging was excellent, they look & feel terrific. I have not tried one as yet & let you know if I was too positively aggressive on the rating. I have put them in a humidor with a #69 2-way Boveda pack. Should that keep them moist enough? Ronnie.

Very fast shipping. Great product. Thank you!

Arrived on time and saving them for Vegas!
Can’t wait 😛
