Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

With a brand name that harkens the gift of fire to mortals and a price in excess of $20, this Cameroon-wrapped cigar has a lot of live up to. It delivers. The well-constructed blend, crafted by Carlito Fuente, sports a smooth and chalky flavor of roasted cashew, sweet cedar, and tangy leather. Its top-notch balance makes the God of Fire Carlito 2006 Double Robusto a treat for rare occasions.

Verdict = Buy.
