Tasting Notes:

This small-batch boutique blend that burns with the best of them, and was co-created by Alec Bradley and Alliance Cigar. A smooth burst of leather-like flavors are released upon light, but strength remains medium, as too does body and flavor. Vanilla, earth and nuts begin, but lend themselves to a sweet, creamy sarsaparilla and wood flavor to round things out further down the barrel. Unknown by many, and outstanding in almost every way, Meteor Hammer continues to be one of the best performing perfecto cigars we stock here at Klaro.

A fantastic find from an extremely obscure boutique brand, the rich, the L'Anniversarie Maduro is the dark cousin to Foyle's Classic "Meteor Hammer." It's a medium-bodied Connecticut broadleaf maduro smoke that comes box-pressed filled with scoops of earthy expresso. To help impart a silky smooth finish, the wrapper on this stick is fermented under intense heat for 90 days until it releases its full potential. The result is a rich, dark wrapper that burns evenly with a razor-thin carbon ring. This uniquely forged wrapper dresses an Ecuadorian binder and a Nicaraguan/Dominican blend that forms an opulent mouthfeel and finish.
