The cigar gets its name from the character in Greek mythology who attempted to use wings made out of wax to soar to the heavens, only to have the sun’s heat melt the wings and send him into the Aegean Sea.  Icarus, like tobacco leaves kissed by Tennessee fire, soared too close to the sun. Ambition met flames, a cautionary tale in every ember.

The medium to full-bodied flavor profile brings chocolate, cinnamon, and nutty tastes together to create a complex bouquet of aromas that are all balanced out by a perfect creaminess.

This is a medium to full-bodied stick with rich notes of cedar and earth and hints of spice and vanilla.
