Epoca Breva
"Interesting smoke"
I can really see where the blender is going with this one. Trying to match a Cuban profile with the right amount of cream and pure tobacco flavor with the spice and hit.. and it certainly works. It does ,or can, however become too harsh at times and must be toked smoothly rather than heavily drawn. I learned that it s also best paired with a cab to bring out the best. The palette needs to be in the right place but this is none-the-less a true treat of a smoke.. for reference, it s perhaps comparable to an Ashton white band but with more spice and layers, and overall a very good value. Benefits from a few months of rest, which only makes it better and easier to enjoy. Exceptional construction as well. Nice job Natty.
