I find this cigar pairs very well with Elijah Craig Rye- was very happy and enjoyed the smoke which reveals the mild smoke of the cigar with the hint of spice 😀

Achievements like this are the confluence of skill, talent and experience. In his 50-year career, Perez-Carrillo has owned factories big and small, worked for a major corporation, and has been making cigars on his own terms for the last decade. Now a two-time Cigar of the Year recipient, the man who’s done it all in the cigar business has just done it again.
