I had to share this review on New Years!!!
Steve (Ratters) gave me this cigar at his Herf last week! Wow! What a great gift!
Cigar Shape: Box Pressed (Exclusivo?)
Filler: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Country: Nicaragua
Who doesn't appreciate the look of these cigars? They are toothy but perfectly constructed!

I paired it with Korbel California Champagne! (Cheap) This is the first time I paired a cigar with champagne!

The PAM 1964 has a draw like butter! After toasting the foot the first couple of draws gave a wonderful bouquet of coffee, cocoa, and nuts!

I have had a few of these and each time I am amazed how consistent they are in construction and flavor.

The champagne actually intensified the the flavor profile of this cigar. I was picking up some orange peel. That is a first for me with these cigars.

The ash held to this point and fell right after this picture was taken. Only a small amount of correcting was necessary to keep this burning evenly.

This was a great cigar to end the year with! Throughout the experience I thought about the previous year! I thought about the highs and lows but mostly about what I have learned from my BOTL/SOTL here this past year. I thought about how life should be experienced like a cigar; savored and appreciated!

Total smoke time took one hour and 15 minutes.
Construction/Appearance: 9.5 out of 10
Flavor Balance: 9.5 out of 10
Strength: Medium
Over all experience: 10 out of 10
Value: Gift
Thank you Steve for this great cigar! Happy New Year!!!
