NOTE ADDENDUM AT END OF REVIEW
First of all, this cigar was sent to me by one of my avid blog readers; Justin Lacy. He actually sent me 2. I sampled one of them last night to get a feel for the cigar. Today I am doing the actual review. This particular size of the 262 Revere was made exclusively for the J. Shepherd Cigar Shop in Louisville, Kentucky.
262 Cigars is all about our freedom to smoke cigars. They very much want the government to stay out of the cigar business. With this in mind they came out with the Revere line which is named for Paul Revere, and American Patriot.
This is a Nicaraguan Puro comprised of:
Wrapper: Nicaragua: Jalapa Valley
Double Binder: Nicaragua: Esteli, Jalapa
Fillers: Nicaragua: Esteli, Jalapa, Condega
This is a nice looking cigar with an oily wrapper. The cap is finished off with a twist; almost like a short pigtail. Here is a hot of the foot.
The test draw after cutting the cap was very good. The initial flavors at light up were a lot of dry wood and earth with a decent amount of pepper. It doesn't last long. About 3 minutes later they changed over to subtle sweetness of cedar and dry cocoa, coffee, cream, earth, and dry wood. The pepper is a black pepper rated at a 7.5.


Score: 92
