Micallef A – halfwheel

Release Date: August 2020 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 Removing the Micallef A from its cello reveals a dark and mottled espresso brown wrapper that is extremely dry to the touch, albeit relatively smooth. There is almost no oil noticeable, but it does sport a slight box press and the cigar feels heavy in my hand, with so much tobacco it almost seems like it is bursting at the seams. The aroma from the wrapper and foot is full of strong cocoa nibs, leather, oak, dry leaves, brewed black coffee and raisin sweetness, while the cold draw brings flavors of strong barnyard, leather, tobacco, black pepper, creamy oak and dark chocolate along with some of the same raisin sweetness, although not nearly as prevalent.
