Notes

The Grand Reserve is a reliable, well-balanced smoke that punches above its price point. It's got enough complexity to keep you interested for the full hour-plus, but it's approachable enough that you're not chasing flavors — they come to you. A great choice for an evening on the porch, paired with a dark rum or a solid cup of coffee.
