"If this cigar was a whiskey, it's Monkey Shoulder. The whole time I smoked this it reminded me of that blended malt whiskey. That aside, this cigar is good and provided great flavors and transitions. It is quite enjoyable and will be revisited again." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
Crux Cigars has started shipping the latest new vitola in their Epicure Maduro line: the Epicure Maduro Short Salomone. The new cigar measures 6 x 54 and uses a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The Epicure Maduro line has been around since 2018 and was a maduro extension to the original Connecticut Epicure line.
"It's a fantastic cigar. I'm not going to say it will wow you with it's dynamic profile changes because it won't. The flavors are the same from beginning to end but they're crisp and bold the entire time. It just does so many things right that it's impossible not to recommend and if I was after a great experience that I was just wanting to relax and enjoy smoking I would reach for again and again. " -Alan (Eulogy)
