Blind Man's Puff · Sep 20, 2023 · July 2023

HVC came out with a new regular production line in 2020 called Hot Cake. The new line was said to serve as a sequel to the company’s Pan Caliente, which was a limited edition release from 2016. The original Hot Cake blend used a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, double binder of corojo 99 from Jalapa and corojo 98 from Estelí, and corojo 2006 maduro filler. Now, this year, in 2023, the company has released a line extension called the Hot Cake blend named Golden Line. This new blend swaps the original Mexican San Andrés wrapper with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The binder and filler are also updated using a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. HVC Hot Cake Golden Line is a regular production line and is made at HVC ‘s Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. de Reinier Lorenzo factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It comes in four sizes: Corona Gorda 5 5/8 x 4 $8.30, Laguito No.4 4 1/2 x 52 $9.00, Laguito No.5 6 x 54 $10.00, and Gran Cañon 6 x 60 $11.40. All come in boxes of 25.

A few kinky veins riddle the wrapper of this thick cigar. The open draw produces lots of creamy smoke, showing a core of cedar supported by baking spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla before a nutty finish.

HVC Hot Cake Golden Line Laguito No. 5

Halfwheel · Sep 17, 2023 · July 2023

“This is not your father’s Connecticut” has become a trite, almost meanless phrase these days, but the Hot Cake Golden Line is definitely a departure from what I would consider a “standard” Connecticut blend, with distinct flavors of creamy hay, toasted bread and cashews as well as plenty of white pepper, spice and floral sweetness. In addition, the new blend delivers a cleaner, creamier and—dare I say—more dynamic profile than the original Hot Cake blend, albeit with less body and strength. Having said that, each cigar featured some burn issues that needed to be corrected at various points, and the wrapper is fragile enough to cause problems if it is not looked after. In the end, the Hot Cake Golden Line is a very flavorful cigar with a solid medium strength that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, attributes that I am always looking for in a blend.

Cream, spice, mild coffee, and sweetness, leaning towards vanilla, hit the palate at first puff. Yes, please.Excellent draw. Excellent smoke output. Excellent start. Let’s hope it keeps going this way.The wrapper begins to crack just below the half, and the split works its way both upward and downward. I might have jinxed this cigar

Hot Cake Golden Line is a hit on many levels. I would not say it is overly complex, but a great value Connecticut that can be enjoyed by any level of smoker. Constructed perfectly, the HVC Hot Cake Golden Line Corona Gorda smoked cool with core flavors from start to finish. Yes, I will come back to this cigar. Yes, I can see this cigar becoming a regular in my rotation. Nice morning beach cigar.
