Let's talk about this fatty - the PDR Small Batch Reserve Habano Double Magnum isn't shy about its proportions. At 6"x60, this Dominican torpedo-sized smoke comes in boxes of 24 priced around $8.66 per stick. Wrapped in oily Brazilian Habano leaf, it uses the Cuban entubado rolling technique to pack maximum flavor into its generous frame. Perfect for when you want a 90+ minute smoking session that evolves like a three-act drama.
First Third: The initial puffs deliver black pepper suckerpunches that mellow into woody cedar notes. Smoke production's modest - don't expect cloud-chaser volumes here. Ash holds firm for about 1.5" before dropping.
Middle Third: Flavor bombs detonate at the halfway mark. Cocoa powder and espresso grounds emerge, wrapped in a sweet tobacco core. The 60-ring starts feeling substantial now - jaw fatigue alert for smaller mouthguys.
Final Third: Leather and earth tones take over as nicotine strength creeps up. Some report slight bitterness unless purged regularly. Cut it at the 1.5" mark unless you're chasing the nic-hit dragon.
Hand-rolled in Tamboril, DR using aged tobaccos from multiple regions. The Dominican fillers (Cibao Valley) provide earthy base notes while Nicaraguan leaves add peppery zing. Boxes show 10-12 months aging potential - try one fresh and another after 6 months to compare.
