Cigar Reveal #188

Southern Draw
Firethorn

"Hand-crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua, Firethorn, our second offering, has been specially blended to pair with medium weight styles of craft brews, boutique wines and spirits. The aged Habano Rosado, double-fermented wrapper is flawless with a taste that will quite simply – draw you in. The wrapper is complemented by perfectly aged binders and fillers from Cuban seed tobacco grown in Nicaragua and Mexic0. From the first draw, the sweet and natural aromas will tantalize the palate. After the first third of the cigar, some spicy notes will blend and then gently trail off, leaving you with a flutter of cinnamon, cocoa and caramel, eventually fading into a subtle pecan-like finish. This handmade beauty has a closed foot for a smooth and toasty burn that results in a firm ash."

I found this was a cigar that delivered some unique flavors. The fact that this cigar is dialed back in terms of strength and body worked well with this cigar’s flavor profile. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the Firethorn was the complexity this cigar delivered. I found this cigar had some nice change-ups and nuances throughout the smoking experience.  While a pairing wasn’t done for this assessment, this is a cigar I can see working with most of the recommended libations.
This is definitely a cigar I would recommend to a novice or experienced cigar enthusiast looking for that “medium” smoke. As for myself, this is a cigar I would definitely smoke again – and its certainly worth a fiver in my book.

The Southern Draw Cigars Firethorn is putting a smile on this old puss. I like everything about it. The spiciness has maintained an even keel. And the coordination of spice vs. sweet is perfect.

The Southern Draw Firethorn-Augusta was a pleasant smoking experience that offered a balanced array of flavors through a medium strength smoke. I especially enjoyed the early Cubanesque floral notes. The burn was decent, with just a slight jag here and there.
