LH ANIVERSARIO REVIEW – DOM
Summary: Chex mix makes me think this is a Cameroon wrapper. Battling a wonky burn, I pick up a peach fragrance on the retro hale that tastes expensive.
In the second half, cedar dominates. While a touch-up is required here and there, I have no complaints besides the fact that I can’t pair this smoke with a coffee right now. Peanut butter creaminess hangs on my palate after I nub it with a pinky raised.

LH ANIVERSARIO REVIEW – RICH
Summary: This cigar brought notes of dark chocolate, earth, baking spices, espresso, and a very slight vegetal note. The flavors didn’t change much, but they’re great the way they are.
Construction was on point; no issues throughout. If you're someone who gets really into ash that doesn't flake or fall off easily, this is definitely a winner for you.

LH ANIVERSARIO REVIEW – BEN
Summary: A little earth, cedar, and walnuts which was a dry combination for me, but the retro was smooth. It tastes like paper and tobacco in the second half. That aside, this was decent to smoke but felt one note-ish.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Hydration on a hot summer day
Pairing Suggestion: Sparkling water
Perceived Strength: Mild+
