The All Saints Solamente 2023 reflects Micky Pegg’s journey from Capitol Hill staffer to former CAO exec to cigar brand owner. After departing the political realm, Pegg pursued his passion for cigars, founding All Saints Cigars and crafting blends that honor tradition and innovation. The Solamente 2023 edition, created in partnership with Amilcar Perez-Castro at TAVICUSA, is a testament to his dedication, featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a mix of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. Limited to 500 boxes, the Solamente captures Pegg’s commitment to quality, offering a unique experience packed into a unique size.
Halfwheel 87/100
It would be an understatement to say that I was concerned about what I was getting into after the first puffs of the first All Saints Solamente 2023. The flavor was not only so different from what I would call the typical options that any cigar would give off, but also so dominant that it set the tone not just for that particular stick but for the entire experience. Despite that odd start, the remaining two thirds turned things around, as did the other two cigars. This is a solid execution of a familiar profile in cigars, with the richness of earth and chocolate setting a hearty base, the brightness of black pepper and some wood providing bright accent notes, and some creaminess tying things together. Retrohales are also beneficial to the experience, and while I don't know if I would say that not taking them is leaving out some key parts of the experience, taking them frequently definitely enhances it. A very respectable creation from All Saints that has a lot to offer with a hearty smoke that shows both depth and impressive transitions.
