BL Luxuries

This is one elegant cigar. A slightly bolder variation to the original blend. The flavor profile still brings out the black pepper, but it is a tad more prominent. The wood tones are mixed in with some cocoa essence as well. The draw is smooth and the smoke is still creamy with a great burn.

Repeated review. This was a smooth and somewhat gentle cigar. The first pull was of mildly sweet honey that blended well with some added leather notes. The construction was solid, the draw was very smooth, and the burn stayed mostly even.

A repeat review, and there's a dryness that allows an interesting fruit note to appear - cherry possibly. Other notes are of subtle leather, espresso, and just a little bit of pepper on the back end. A decent draw with adequate resistance to it, producing decent smoke, and allowing a fairly even burn line.

Had one of these 3 years ago, and I experienced the exact same issues this time. The flavor is a simple mix of nuts and cream. However, it is severely under packed, causing an overly airy draw and absolutely horrible burn that had to be corrected every half inch.

A good quick smoke with notes of cocoa, coffee, and a little vanilla at the back end. The draw was open, but the burn needed a couple corrections this time.

I was initially worried this would be a dud, as there was initially no flavor beyond simple tobacco. However, after about an inch of burn, multiple flavors appeared all at once - leather, baking spice, red pepper. The burn on the retro was intense as well. The smoke output was insane!
