This is the first Quesada cigar to be made in Nicaragua as opposed to the Dominican Republic, giving it a rich, complex profile containing notes of cocoa, leather, and coffee. When paired with a nice stout beer, these flavors will pop even more! Intended to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, make sure you grab this limited yearly release while they’re around.
