Love it. Mild to medium yet full of flavor. Smoke it as often as I can. Went through four boxes in the last year, only have a few more left. I have half a box of the New Wave Reserves stashed. Just to give you an idea of how much I like this cigar.
The Best Mild Cigar
30 August, 2024
The New Wave is the best in class for mild cigars. It never disappoints and is the perfect cigar with that first cup of coffee in the morning! The only thing better is the New Wave Reserva – which I hope returns.
