MOLOTOV 2024 (5 x 50)

Video review HERE.

(Description provided by Dissident Cigars)

The MOLOTOV is a mild/medium limited edition cigar originally released, to much fanfare, over two years ago! Dissident's most popular & most requested release of all time, the MOLOTOV is available to ship immediately and offered on a first-come, first-served basis to Oveja Negra Brands retailers. 

About the MOLOTOV, owner/blender Cynn Coburn says "The Limited Edition MOLOTOV sold out quickly upon its original release and has since been requested constantly from fans & retailers alike. We kept everyone waiting long enough, it’s time to set the world on fire once again with this badass cigar that’s full of flavor and attitude!”

The cigar is very nicely made and features the wild "MOLOTOV rag" cap.

The cigar has an average feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were orange citrus with underlying pear, brown sugar, cinnamon, and earthy, leathery black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Nice start.

At the first third (16 minutes) the cigar is burning evenly. The lead flavor is a very nice peach. It's sweet and tangy. There's also brown sugar, cinnamon, earthy black coffee with leather. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is peach and leather with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is very good at this point. I rated the first third 95.

As I moved through the second third (36 minutes) the earthiness went up. The peach and brown sugar notes are still nice but they are somewhat watered down by the earthiness. There are also some nutty flavors in the mix between the sweet notes and the earthy leathery black coffee. The finish is a little peach and some earthiness with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is full bodied. I rated the second third 94.

The cigar lasted 52 minutes. Nothing much changed in the final third. There is still some elevated earthiness and the cigar is still full bodied. The finish is unchanged. I held the score of 94. I found this cigar to be better than the 2022 version. A full point better. I'd give these a try if I were you. This is a very good cigar. 

Overall Score: 94.33
