Neat. Opened two weeks. Batch 33. Full disclosure, Batch 28 is one of my favorite pours of all time. This didn’t hit me the same way head-to-head but I haven’t given it the spotlight in its own sitting yet.
On the nose, the MGP shines through. Butterscotch, graham cracker, honey. Also getting somewhere between a grape soda and a root beer. I sway root beer because the vanilla is emerging but I also can’t escape that grape. Getting this beautiful hint of chocolate and tobacco. This really darkened the more I sat with it, which is atypical for me. Usually I get the dark first and it lightens as I acclimate.
Fantastically creamy and immediately leaps with flavor. Honey and maple up front on the tongue, so sweet. That grape soda is coming through too. So good. Root beer and the vanilla transitions to a beautiful chocolate. Oh it’s spicy too. Geez what is that. It’s like a Mediterranean spice. All spice? All spice and tobacco? Lots of fig there too. The chocolate, tobacco and spice are really hanging.
Damn that is good. It’s so dynamic and each sip tickled my soul. I need to find more batches....

Hey there @BlimpsGo90, Nancy here! Many thanks for the fair and frank review of CB batch #33. Your reviews always seem to resonate with my own palate and assessment of these batches. If you get a chance and can still find the lates "Rock & Roll" Series of Cigar Blends, which would be batches #42-47, I'd love to hear your assessment. Cheers! N.
