#25 | EGM Cigars Empyrean Line Heraldos
Tasting notes:
Nutty in the cold draw, this cigar also offers nutty and earthy aromas in the first few draws, along with a slight bitterness. Cedar wood and honey sweetness – but always accompanied by nutty notes – complement the flavor from the second half onwards.

#24 | Black Label Trading Co. Eletto Parejo
Tasting notes:
Lots of wood, bread spice, and cloves in the nose, then, on the palate, close-meshed, dense smoke with bold tannins and some acidity. Towards the end, fresh pepper and salted cashews round off the overall experience.

#23 | Aganorsa Leaf Supreme Leaf International Edition Toro
Tasting notes:
A mild start with gentle notes of spice, then this perfectly constructed Toro soon gains strength – brown sugar, dark chocolate, and toasted bread, yet it is sweet and spicy and wonderfully balanced.

#20 | West Tampa Tobacco Company Circle of Life Toro
Tasting notes:
Dried fruit, orange peel, and vanilla form a pleasing undertone throughout the entire smoking experience. Added to the dark chocolate, leather, and roasted aromas is a nice salty-peppery kick at the end.
