This limited-edition cigar rolls out with serious anniversary swagger. The 5¼"x54 parejo sports a pigtail cap and Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that glistens with modest oil. At under $10/stick in boxes of 10, it's punching above its weight class for a Dominican-heavy blend.
First third delivers straight-up cedar with bakery sweetness - think fresh croissant crumbs. The ash holds firm for 1.5" before flaking. Midway through, transitions to coffee grounds and black pepper emerge without overwhelming. Final third brings damp earth notes, requiring slower pacing to avoid bitterness.
The La Romana rollers nailed the draw - enough resistance to feel controlled without becoming a workout. Burn line stayed razor-sharp under 70% humidity. Wrapper held integrity down to the nub despite thin veins. Box code GLN OCT 22 shows decent aging potential.
