I lit this Liberation by Hamlet cigar on Easter Sunday while starting the charcoal grill. Overall, it was a good stick, though I expected it to be a little spicier. I paired the first third with a glass of Johnnie Walker Black Label, the second third with a Heineken, and the last third with a delicious Lebanese arak I’m becoming a fan of — Arak Farid. I got notes of hazelnut, coffee, earth, and some hints of pepper.
