Following up from the previous release, “The Jolly Walleye” returns with an elevated profile this year.
Lou Cross, owner of Lure Cigars explains the latest rendition:
“Master blender Yandy Lopez, brother-in-law of AJ Fernandez, and his team at the factory answered the call to bring a more refined experience to the smoker’s palate. The addition of a premium Ecuadorian Claro Habano wrapper adds a slightly softer profile and an elegant presentation to this annual release. The name is a nod to my Dad’s favorite fish to enjoy at a Friday night fish fry, and it seemed fitting since this cigar has become one of our favorite blends in our portfolio.”
“The Jolly Walleye” is an ultra-premium (5.5 x 52) robusto extra cigar tha has a blend desribed as:
- Wrapper – Ecuadorian Claro Habano
- Binder – Ometepe
- Filler – Ometepe, Jalapa y Esteli
The company notes:
The strength of this cigar is medium, and full of flavor. Your palate will encounter notes of buttery salted caramel, light cedar, honey graham cracker, baking spices, espresso, and a touch of chili pepper. This cigar produces thick but soft smoke, and the retrohale compliments the blend by not being too peppery. This cigar delivers a complex combination of memorable flavors that progress throughout the experience, with a bit of extra joy that lingers on the palate. The cigar exhibits excellent construction and combustibility and is intended to be enjoyed with friends and family, making time to ‘Smoke Great Cigars & Tell Tall Tales!’TM
