Bdawg says:  This is Cigar Aficionado's #19 Cigar of 2015.  And me likey!


The wrapper is medium golden brown.  The draw is easy producing a salt and pepper colored ash.  The flavor is smooth, cashews, cream, sweet wood finish.  The burn is slow and even.

I enjoyed this cigar with a Slaughter House American Whiskey on the rocks.


Splinter Group
Napa Valley, CA
88 proof
Bdawg says:  Slaughter House was initially aged nine years in American oak before seeing additional maturation time in Papillion barrels. These wine vessels once housed a Bordeaux-styled blended red who’s components were sourced from a range of Napa Valley vineyards. The whiskey was then cut with water from a natural hillside spring found on Phinney’s property some 2,000 feet above California’s Alexander Valley.  

Absolutely Fantastic!
