Cigar news you can use: Small manufactures of cigars often are neglected due to marketing issues , or unfortunately fall between the cracks.
There are thousands of new releases every year so how does a quality company make some headway in the morass of cigars out there?

I received the cigar gratis for review. Smoked on 2/16/2023 in Los Angeles, aged in my humidor for 4 months.
Appearance/Construction: Medium brown wrapper, firm to the touch with an oily presence. Attractive Double band which enhanced the look of the wrapper.

The final third increased intensity with the pepper with orange peel combo.
