Notes

Bobalu Cigars, based in Austin TX, fly under the radar for many Canadian smokers. Totally undeserving! Bobalu roll their cigars in house and their portfolio is packed with fantastic blends. 27th Anniversary “Dark Shadow” is no exception. Creamy, smooth, medium strength chocolate and coffee indulgence. Only reason I didn’t give it a 10, I’d like a bit more strength but I understand that would bring a change in flavour, which I wouldn’t change one bit. It’s perfect as it is!
