(Description provided by Cigar Ambassador)
Cigar Ambassador recently announced their introductory brand, “Tobacco Queen.” Cigar Ambassador has a two-decade history, as a grower of premium tobacco, international cigar magazine publisher, cigar distributor and operator of high-end cigar lounges.
The Tobacco Queen brand is unique as each vitola has a slightly different blend. The blends were created at the Cigar Ambassador cigar factory in Tamboril, Santiago, Dominican Republic.

The cigar is nicely made and has a nice feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was very good. The initial flavors at light up were tart black cherry and earthy black coffee. There is more earthiness in this cigar than the A which I reviewed yesterday. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Pretty good start.
At the first third (34 minutes) this cigar is coming across very similar to the A. The major difference is there are no citrus notes and it's earthier. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is black cherry with very good lingering black pepper. The blend in this cigar and the A are very similar. I rated the first third 93.
As I moved through the second third (1 hour 13 minutes) the earthiness moved up a little. The other notes are the same. The cigar is pushing medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. I rated the second third 92.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 58 minutes. The earthiness pulled back allowing the black cherry to shine. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. This cigar is a little earthier than the previous two I've reviewed. It's not bad at all. I rated the final third 93.
