I don't know who makes this cigar.
It was a freebee from one of the companies I ordered from.
The label is a very plain white with black letters. Looks very cheap.
There is a Catch 22 made by Rocky Patel but they have an orange band which is larger than this one....

Whoever makes this thing did a good job. This is a very solid stick. No soft spots. Looks to be really wrapped well and tightly.
Cigar has a very musty, funky,dark, dank smell.
So good so far....
Several unlit draws give a chocolate taste...hmmmmm............
The wrapper is very dry and paper-like. Tastes like a very dry spicy leather.
1st 3rd
Upon lighting I get a blast of mild spice. Black pepper and absolutely nothing else.
After about half an inch I get some very dry leather along with the spice.
After about one inch the pepper just disappears and is replaced with a very dry almond flavor...I guess.
The flavor is a little hard to identify (which I like).
Maybe extra dry unsweet almond and leather.
Not bad...
Look at that ash!!!

2nd third
The pepper is back. So now I have a pepper/almond leather kind of taste. Not hot or harsh.
Really not bad at all.
Once again - That ash!!!!

Last 3rd
The pepper is gone again and I'm left with a sweet leather flavor.
Nice

Towards the end (about an inch from the label) it did start to smoke a little hot and it wasn't quite as fun to smoke so that was when a put it out.
Overall A very nice smoke.
Would I buy these again?
Probably if I could figure out who makes them so I could actually look for them.
