PSYKO SEVEN NICARAGUA REVIEW – CALIFORNIA
Summary: My nose has been a bit impaired from the fire currently burning in Nor Cal so, for better or for worse, I'll be lighting up this cigar inside my lounge as opposed to outside.
A touch a fruitiness on the pre-light. This cigar starts with wood, cinnamon, and spicy red pepper. Lemon and an herb that I can't quite place show up out of left field and roll with a gourmet tea type of vibe. I'm interested what tobacco was used in this cigar because the profile is very different from what I usually smoke. Interest piqued. Dang it, just went out on me.
Herbal lemon tea carries over to the second third. Went out again. Buttercream goodness!
Entering the final third and the burnline is on point, just hoping it stays lit. Nuttiness and lemon at the finish. Very interesting change of pace cigar.

PSYKO SEVEN NICARAGUA REVIEW – WISCONSIN
Summary: Today we take a journey into my wheelhouse, with a creamy, bready cigar that brings a peppery aftertaste. Notes of almond, hay, lemon, and a buttery sweetness also appeared. The flavors balanced nicely, making for a very enjoyable lighter cigar.
The construction gave me no issues at all; it had a good burn and a good draw.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: A balanced smoke on the lighter side of things.
Pairing Suggestion: Coffee.
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Box.
PSYKO SEVEN NICARAGUA REVIEW – OREGON
Summary: This week’s cigar is a firmly packed Robusto that smells just like caramel corn on the wrapper. The cold draw is perfect and presents flavors of dry grass and caramel.
Initial flavors include oak, leather and a nice mix of floral and citrus with just a little white pepper on the palate. The retro hale is smooth and includes the same flavors with just a little bit of heat.
Towards the middle of the cigar, things are turning very nicely into a smooth mix of wood, leather, caramel, savory spices and just a mild tangle of white pepper. So far, the construction on this cigar is aces. Both a solid ash and a razor-sharp burn line predict a winning finish.
Moving through the final third, creamy caramel, cinnamon, mild tobacco, leather and white pepper surround an underlying note of dried apricots. Very interesting and quite good!
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Reading your favorite book uninterrupted.
Pairing Suggestion: Coffee… or Rum.
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Box Purchase.
