Altadis Warlock event; December 21, 2010

Tuesday night we had a tasting event for the new Altadis cigar from Omar Ortez, Warlock.




Up until now I had not heard of Warlock but was interested to see what it was like. I learned it was primarily Nicaraguan so I was a little more interested. The cigar actually has an Ecuadorian Cubano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler. We had the 7x54 size.



It started with a sweet orange citrus with cinnamon spice and light vanilla notes. It also had a very nice amount of pepper. The finish was long with vanilla and raw almond notes. The cigar changed at midpoint becoming a little subtle on the spice notes but still flavorful. The change was not enough to take away from the cigar being quite tasty. I will do a full review later but after this initial sample I am quite pleased.

Thanks to John Conroy for supplying the cigars for our group to sample. Everyone enjoyed them and had good things to say about them.
