Quick Smoke: 7-20-4 Dog Walker

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.”

I’ve praised this small (4 x 40) cigar before (listing it as one of my favorite small cigars). Much as I remembered, it didn’t disappoint. The Dog Walker features a Brazilian mata fina wrapper, Costa Rican binder, and filler from Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, and Columbia, just like the rest of the line. For such a small cigar, it demonstrates impressive complexity with leather, clove, coffee, and pepper. It’s medium- to full-bodied and thoroughly enjoyable when you need a good smoke but only have 30 minutes.

Verdict = Buy.
