How it smokes
Very thick: smokes cool and long, with more filler than wrapper. Thicker cigars hold more filler, so they tend to burn cooler and feel smoother, with the filler blend leading. It suits smokers who like a cool, mellow, long smoke.
Choosing one
Most cigar lines come in several sizes, and the same blend can taste noticeably different from one size to another. Start with a line you already like, and try it as a gordo. Use the cigar matcher or our database to find a blend first.
