Still Austin Tanager Cigar Blend, 54%

Created by master blender par excellence Nancy Fraley, who employed the French “petits eaux” dilution method used in cognac making. The nose is resplendent with cigar ash and tobacco leaf, dried strawberries, vanilla, and mellow herbs. The palate features cherry, anise, red berries, vanilla cream, more tobacco leaf, and pepper spice, with a finish of similar flavors. Not super dynamic, but a very worthy accompaniment to a good cigar.
