This hefty 6"x60 Double Magnum from PDR Cigars demands attention with its deep espresso-brown Habano Sungrown Ecuador wrapper. Priced at $270/box of 24, the box-pressed parejo comes oilier than a mechanic's rag, housing Dominican Olor binder and Nicaraguan/Dominican fillers. Perfect for when you want to disappear into your smoking chair for two solid hours.
The initial punches land with black pepper and cured leather, mellowing into baking spices as the burn line progresses. Expect thick smoke output - like exhaling campfire smoke through maple wood chips.
Dominican earthiness emerges beneath cocoa powder sweetness. Retrohale reveals hazelnut bitterness that coffee drinkers will recognize from espresso crema. Ash holds strong in 1.5" segments.
Nicotine strength crescendos alongside charred oak notes. The promised "smoothness" materializes as caramelized sugar crust on toast, though tar buildup requires purging past the 90-minute mark.
