According to Cult Cigars, Life’s too short to smoke alone. I say I have to agree with that, and I am happy to have many friends and shops around the wold where I can enjoy a fine cigar with old friends and newly made acquaintances.
Today we offer the Stogie Press Rough Cut cigar review notes on the Cult Cigars Original Classic. I received samples of the Cult Classic from the company at the 2015 IPCPR.
As noted on the Cult Cigars website:
This is the original blend that launched the Cult Cigar series. A wonderful Nicaraguan handmade manufactured by Tacasa S.A. in Esteli that can be enjoyed any time of the day. A mild to medium strength cigar that’s packed with a tasteful blend of toasty flavors for both the novice and seasoned smoker to enjoy.
The Cult Classic is available in 4 vitolas:
- Robusto – 5 x 50
- Toro -6 x 50
- Torpedo – 6.25 x 52
- Grande Toro – 6 x 60
The Cult Classic blend is described as:
- Wrapper – Ecuador Habano
- Binder – Indonesian
- Filler – Jalapa, Nicaraguan
For this review I sampled the Cult Classic Toro
Cigar Review Notes
- Slightly toothy medium brown wrapper with a reddish hue
- Sweet tea like aroma on foot
- Didn’t get much on the cold draw
- Once it was torched up, greeted with fruit and cinnamon
- Solid white ash
- Razor thin char line
- Smoke production is at a medium early on
- Slow burn
- Ash fell early
- I pick up some more cinnamon spice in the aroma
- Slight bitter component comes in at the end of the first third
- Bitterness backs off and a cedar note develops
- Cedar builds through the second third
- A sweet flavor enters in final third with a hint of the cinnamon and cedar
- Overall. a decent cigar
