Domain Cigars, a new company founded by Esteban Disla and Daniel Lance, has begun shipping its two debut lines, Neutron and Negentropy.
Today we look at Negentropy.
Negentropy uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, a double binder of Nicaraguan tobacco, and filler from Nicaragua’s Condega region. The company says that this blend is “fused with high energy, that culminates in a clean finish while delivering impactful intensity.” The name of the line references reverse entropy, or the process of things becoming more orderly.
There are plenty of sizes to choose from, as they are being offered in the same nine sizes:
Revlent (4 x 52) — $9.99 (Box of 20, $199.80)
Robusto Extra (5 x 52) — $11.49 (Box of 20, $229.80)

Both cigars are produced at Tabacalera Familia Disla S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The cigar is nicely made and has a nice feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good with a touch of firmness. The initial flavors at light up were citrus, pear, brown sugar, cinnamon, and leathery black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2 to 8. Nice start.
At the first third (34 minutes) the notes have morphed into more of a peach with a touch of citrus. But it's primarily peach. There was brown sugar, light cinnamon, and lots of leathery black coffee. The cigar is medium bodied but it seems to be moving up. The finish is leathery black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is a little intriguing. It's pretty nice but I'm concerned with the elevation of the leathery black coffee. At this point it's pretty good. I rated the first third 93.
As I moved through the second third (1 hour 1 minute) the leathery black coffee continues to rise. If you smoke the cigar slowly, hold the smoke, and let it out slowly you will still get some sweet notes but they are lighter. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. I rated the second third 90.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 19 minutes. The leathery black coffee continues to rise. There are now hints of peach and a lot of leathery black coffee. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. The cigar started out quite nice but the leathery black coffee was too much for the sweet notes. I rated the final third 87. I could smoke this cigar again but it would be better if it held the first third notes.
