When I first smoked the Surrogates Skull Breaker, I thought it was a good smoking experience, but  I wanted to see more in flavor depth and complexity.  The nice thing is that the Surrogates Tramp Stamp does seem to deliver that – and do it well.   I found this to be an excellent smoking experience.   This is probably a cigar I would recommend to the more experienced cigar enthusiast because it does have some pop.  There are cases that I might recommend a novice try this cigar to try something fuller in strength and body.  As for myself, this cigar delivered a nice smoking experience for me – and it is one I would definitely smoke again.

The creaminess and chocolate flavors and just out of this world. And that black licorice element gives the Surrogates Tramp Stamp a nice twist. I am very impressed with the construction. No touch ups needed. The wrapper hangs tough. And I’ve only had to clip the cap once.

This is one of those rare dual purpose cigars. It’s good to go in a very short time for a 75% blender’s intent experience and it is a cigar that left for a few months in your humidor will get even better. This is the type of cigar that I strive to buy because of my cigar budget.
