"Great smoking experience on what I would consider a nice overall medium-body cigar. The sweet and peppery profile was a nice combination that played well together. I would reach for these at my local B&M any day." -Quinn (quinnpins269)
"I've got to say that this cigar worked for me. I admired it visually, and the profile combinations worked right into my wheelhouse. It was interesting for me, because I really did just find myself enjoying the session more than typical. If it wasn't for the fact that the cigar did burn quickly, I could have easily spent closer to three hours smoking it instead of the less than two hours it took. If you're a big fan of baking spices or cherry, I would highly suggest you check this one out. And if you end up not liking it, just send the rest my way to dispose of for you." -Doug S.

"One of those delectable treats you get in the form of a cigar. Very straight-forward, but very rewarding as well. If you want stability, sweetness, and no kickback, this should be right up your alley." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

·"After getting off to a disjointed start this cigar found its bearing quickly. It delivered a delicate and delicious flavor profile that is easily approachable to all levels of cigar smokers. I found it to be nub worthy and down as far as I could take it. This the light to medium body smoke would make it appropriate for a first, or last, cigar of one’s day. So grab your favorite cup of coffee, or tea, and enjoy one." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)
The Crux Epicure Habano, rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua, began shipping in June 2023. With high-quality Nicaraguan binder, fillers, and a habano seco leaf wrapper, it received overall positive reviews for its flavors and draw.
"Great cigar from beginning to end. This cigar was full of flavor. Notes include tea, black pepper, popcorn, hickory, lavender, pork, and clove. I wanted the enjoyment to continue. Perfect draw, burn, and construction. Minor touch ups were needed, but didn't interfere with the pleasure. This cigar is one I'd share with my friends. I'll seek this out and add it to my humidor." -Sean F. (fullermaine)
"This cigar was only a few flavors away from being epic. It was eye catching and performed like a champ. The mix of flavors really hit my palate in the sweet spot. Loved the leather, chocolate, oak,and spice flavors that just came in droves. Highly recommended and I can't wait to buy more of these." -Kevin J. (maninblack77)
"The blend's flavor was perfect for my palate. It began with a deep musk, then transitioned into a delicious smoky honey glaze flavor before returning to a slightly edgier musk at the end. The cigar smoked great, with only minor burn issues in the second half, and I enjoyed it so much that I smoked it down to the nub. I'm excited to discover what this blend is so I can purchase some." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
"Overall, this was a solid performing stick in terms of construction and complexity. Perfection in the draw, burn, and construction category made this stick a dream to smoke on the technical aspect. Wonderful medium-bodied flavors ranging from leather, cream, and Brazil nuts to malty chocolate notes kept me on my toes with each puff. I would smoke this cigar again, over and over when I want to feel fancy as this sample just made me feel relaxed. Grab this one and smoke it!" -John A. (Bostoneo)
"This cigar started out great. It had a remarkable flavor combination of graham cracker and leather that I would have otherwise wouldn't have seen coming. The burn was outstanding with nothing but a kiss of flame at the beginning to kick off a couple hours of enjoyment. Sadly, there was little flavor transition through the cigar until the flavors seemed to fall apart in the final third. I will likely give this cigar another shot, but not without at least a few months time in the humidor to rest." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
