Cavalier Geneve Black Label II Robusto Cigar - Box of 20

Date Added: Friday 21 November, 2025 by Richard

The Cavalier Genève Black Series II is one of the more distinctive cigars aesthetically, with its signature gold diamond on the wrapper, but beyond looks, it also offers a solid smoking experience. As someone still refining my palate, I found it interesting, flavorful, and well-constructed, though slightly less consistent than others I’ve tried.

The cold draw delivered notes of dark wood, dried fruit, and subtle cocoa. Once lit, the first third opened with medium-bodied flavors: earth, pepper, and a light mineral quality that seemed to be part of Cavalier’s signature style. The smoke output was good, and the draw stayed comfortable.

Moving into the second third, I picked up more richness—espresso, dark chocolate, and a faint sweetness that helped round out the profile. There were moments where the flavors jumped beautifully, followed by stretches where the complexity backed off a little more than I expected. The burn required a couple of minor corrections, though not enough to ruin the experience.

The final third had more intensity but stayed balanced enough to remain enjoyable. Overall, the cigar offers personality and depth, but with minor inconsistencies. Still, it’s a worthwhile smoke with a unique flavor identity.

Rating: 7/10
