Conclusion:
Welp. My high hopes from the year Warped and Gellis have had were knocked down a bit with this one. The best part of this cigar is the packaging, which is beautiful. The cigar on the other hand didn’t hit for me. The initial spices and pepper ruined my throat at the start, and the first third didn’t have anything enjoyable to me. Big let down. However… yes there is a however, the second and final third were alright. Notes of milk chocolate, slight fruit, and creaminess were nice additions, although they were fairly muted notes. In the final third the chocolate note picked up a bit and was fairly pleasant, but overall it’s a bland cigar to me, especially with the price tag this comes with. I’ll let these age a bit and see if that does it any good. Overall rating of 83.
Result: 83
