Quick Smoke: Maestro del Tiempo 5205

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.”

This 2016 release by Warped Cigars features Nicaraguan Aganorsa tobaccos. The lonsdale (6.4 x 42) is well-constructed with an understated yet classic band. The cigar produces immaculately balanced, medium-bodied flavors, with cream, light cedar, roasted cashews, and an almost prefume-like sweetness. Construction was superb, with the elegant cigar producing an easy draw, even burn, and sturdy ash. I’ve recommended many Warped cigars over the years and Maestro del Tiempo is no exception.

Verdict = Buy.
