Tasting Note

Sometimes the best weapon in your arsenal is a good argument or a good cigar. Made by A.J. Fernandez for Espinosa Cigars, 601 La Bomba Warhead X is the 10th installment in the limited-edition Warhead series. It’s also the first time a Warhead was made in an oval-pressed shape (flat on the top and bottom, rounded on the sides). The cigar is an all-Nicaraguan blend including its broadleaf wrapper, which is usually grown in Connecticut. The smoke launches into a bold mélange of Middle Eastern spices, graham cracker and a wisp of licorice, all achieving balance before it drops an orange honey note that explodes onto the finish.
