EGM Escudos

Dried porcini mushrooms and a colorful mix of nuts give this Double Robusto with a small pigtail a creamy, aromatic profile. While it initially has a subtle sweetness, it becomes drier and tighter in the finish.

EGM Empyrean Heraldos

Cigar Journal — Official review
91

Nutty in the cold draw, this cigar also offers nutty and earthy aromas in the first few draws, along with a slight bitterness. Cedar wood and honey sweetness – but always accompanied by nutty notes – complement the flavor from the second half onwards.

This Lancero is very appealing on the outside, even though the draw is not always optimal. In the cool smoke there’s nut nougat, honey, and white pepper. Towards the end, light bitter notes emerge.

A small pigtail adorns the head of this oily, shimmering Gran Toro. Sandalwood, leather, and a finely chiseled note of dark chocolate characterize the aroma. The cigar is delicately creamy on the palate.

Cedar wood and a delicate fruity tartness characterize this cigar. An ethereal freshness of eucalyptus and lime zest adds complexity to the aroma. The mouthfeel is creamy and full-bodied with a subtle tartness in the finish.

Alexander Kraft Robustos x EGM Cigars

Cigar Journal — Official review
89

A delicate start with notes of marzipan and light nougat; the cigar burns somewhat hastily, but with slow draws, nice creamy leather, cedar, and honey aromas develop. Mildly spicy.

This brightly shimmering Robusto offers creamy, nutty smoke with delicate notes of pepper and black tea in the aftertaste. As the smoke progresses, the cigar reveals a fruity sweetness. Has a compact, white ash tower.
