We call this cigar our “Costa Rican sandwich,” which represents the standard for a damn good cigar that can never go wrong. The New York gives off instant notes of espresso, but with a sweetness that takes center stage. Small bits of dark chocolate come to tease the palate, but eventually leave their full presence on the tip of the tongue in the final third of the smoke. All things considered, this is a very pleasant cigar with a very consistent draw.
