One look at this hearty stick and I could already tell it’s a force! Glistening in perfectly aged Habano leaf and oils is the Maxx premium handmade blend, a full-flavored, medium-full bodied masterpiece. Composed of Colombian, Mexican, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, all nestled masterfully in a delicious Costa Rican binder, this toasty smoke has that rich taste that darker-flavor lovers like me crave—and the allure to make some new fans. It’s biting at its core, with notes of espresso and licorice, but the hints of earth and spice layered on top of it create a mix that is unique and absolutely intoxicating. Just make sure you have the time to sit with this one; it’s a slow-burner!
