Cacique Family Martin Box-Pressed

Cacique (pronounced "ka-seek") enjoys a loyal following, yet isn't widely known, despite a 90 rating by Cigar Aficionados Insider and high praise from the cigar smoking public. Made by cigar master Pedro Martin, this cigar is a real diamond in the rough. Cacique is handmade in the Dominican Republic, using a long-filler blend of Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Seco leaves, Havana seed binder, and a very attractive Connecticut Shade wrapper. This combination lends the cigar a full flavor, yet remains mild in strength. It is very well-constructed and extensively aged. A cigar with a pleasant, herbal character and a mild-to-medium body. There are good spicy elements on the palate - a well-made cigar with an oily wrapper. It has a spicy core of flavors. The aftertaste was a mild and somewhat spicy experience. We'd suggest pairing it with your favorite Pale Ale or Chardonnay.
