A big fat boy blended with aged Nicaraguan and Dominican long filler tobacco wrapped into an oily and sugary Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper

My favourite cigar. It burns evenly throughout and produces a firm ash. Easy draw producing lots of smoke which tastes of coffee and chocolate.

Very pleasing smoke.
Not in anyway robust or strong, but mild and smooth.
That is note to say it is bland. Far from it, just the favours are well blended without any harshness.
Notes of marzipan and dark chocolate in the latter stages, and maybe a hint of paprika.
Draw was excellent along with a steady even burn throughout, and plenty of thick creamy smoke.
Lasted just shy of an hour whilst sat in the sun enjoying a pint from the village pub.
Left a very acceptable aftertaste in the mouth.

A beautiful band, with historic and present day Carrillo family heritage. Dark wrapper cigar with nice prefect draw. Surprisingly smooth yet strong with sweet hints of dark chocolate, oak, cedar, and peppery white espresso, developing into fresh cherry , dark chocolate, maple, hot pepper but nice earthy, barnyard, countryside spring woods and floral notes. Understandably the Cigar Aficionado number one cigar of 2020. I have yet to smoke a better new world cigar! The Sojourn is just more greatness and pleasure, smokable to the last inch!

The first third was quite unremarkable. The cigar is not filled enough and results in a less satisfying and too airy draw. Lots of pepper and not enough sweetness to balance the cigar. The second third was a big improvement, develops with some of those much needed but subtle sweet fruit notes, bitter coffee and keeping that heavy pepper on the finish. The final third, was a joy - hence the now 4 stars. Worth a smoke, i donÂ’t think iÂ’ll buy it again for my collection but I did enjoy it over all. (Written while smoking)

This was a beautifully delicious and excellent quality cigar, dark rich smooth caramel and chocolate and sophisticated smoke changing in flavour profile throughout the stick. Circa 2 hours burn time.
