From the twisted, mildly unhinged mind of Matt Booth comes Unhostile Takeover, a cigar that sneaks into your senses like a velvet-clad ninja, delivering a flavor revolution before you even realize what hit you.
This medium-full masterpiece is wrapped in a luscious, oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapperārich, slightly toothy, and glowing with the charisma of a grizzled lounge lizard with a penchant for mischief. Beneath the cloak lies a Nicaraguan binder and a covert coalition of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers, conspiring to overthrow your taste buds with notes of dark chocolate-dipped cherries, cracked black pepper, and a sultry kiss of worn leather and toasted oak.
As you torch this beauty, the first third slinks in smooth and creamy, caressing your palate with a deceptive sweetness. But by the second third, the flavor mutiny kicks ināpeppery spice and espresso rise up like cigar rebels, demanding your attention. The final act is a decadent crescendo of smoky earth and lingering sweetness, leaving you wondering if youāve been seduced or conquered.
š„ Unhostile Takeover: Because not all power plays need to be aggressiveāsometimes they just need to be disturbingly delicious.
