This 5x54 parejo from Deadwood Tobacco hits the sweet spot with its Nicaraguan filler and Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. The $64.50 box of 10 delivers a medium-bodied smoke that walks the line between novelty act and serious cigar. Those colorful rope-wrapped feet aren't just for show - they hint at the flavor circus inside.
The cold draw tastes like brown sugar crust. Initial puffs deliver cherry-laced cream soda sweetness with vanilla undertones. Smoke production stays moderate - no thick clouds here. Ash holds firm in neat white layers.
Cinnamon heat emerges as the Nicaraguan filler flexes. Cedar notes mix with dark chocolate shavings, creating an "Arnold Palmer" effect - half sweet tea, half bitter lemon. Burn line stays razor-sharp without touch-ups.
Roasted almonds take center stage with espresso grounds bitterness. Pepper ticks the throat gently. Stop at 1.5" nub unless you enjoy carbon flavors. Total smoke time clocks 55 minutes average.
The Connecticut Maduro wrapper glistens with oily sheen. Triple seams stay intact despite the novelty foot design. Draw resistance sits at Goldilocks zone - not too tight, not too airy. 92% of samples burn evenly according to Cigar Dojo crowd reviews.
