Notes of spicy ginger and cinnamon are balanced by a touch of nuttiness on this golden-brown cigar. The draw is lush and the burn is even.

Developing Palates · Dec 5, 2022 · July 2022
Going into the review of the Hoyo de Monterrey The Illusione of Excalibur No. 1 was a bit intimidating given it's large size and ring gauge. Fortunately, the flavor balance found the right point between engaging flavors without being palate fatiguing, which is challenging on a larger cigar. The first third and the second thirds were the most engaging, with the last third being pleasant, but not quite as complex as the rest of the cigar.
