El Baton Cigars

Adorned with a classy band of blue and silver scripted with gold, the solid barrel of each El Baton vitola is a magnificent example of the quality of cigar being produced at Tampa's last cigar factory: smooth and shiny, minimally veined, reeking of the aroma of fresh-cut hay. The taste of cedar is abundant in the cold draw, the thick filler offering just the right amount of resistance. After lighting, the cigar exudes a significant leather component, a bit of black pepper, and some oak. Midway, earthy cocoa becomes evident but watch out as the ash is somewhat flaky and prone to fall if over an inch long. The woodiness increases along with the strength towards the end, with a drop of cane-syrup sweetness for balance.

With such a historic pedigree plus being the recipient of a slew of rave reviews, including a well-deserved 93 rating, you might think the El Baton a pricey and rare indulgence. Not so, dear aficionado, for while they do indeed cost more than five cents, you can probably scrape up enough from the cushions of your couch to buy more than a handful. For even more enjoyment, hold an American-made-cigar smoke-off against the Herrera Esteli Miami.
