Chess Cigars Habana 2000 Review

Wrapper: Dominican
Filler: Dominican

As many of you may know by now, I am always in a search for new and unknown cigars. So over the past couple months I have been getting in touch with people through social media websites. I came across Chess Cigars and found them to be quite interesting. After viewing their website and seeing an amazing humidor that doubles as a chess table (complete with the chess pieces) I wanted to reach out to them. They sent me a few samples of the Habana 2000 to try out.

These cigars are a nice size for these cold winter months. The 5” x 42 cigars last about a half hour each, which when the weather calls for a heavy coat, these are a nice quick break. The light to medium brown wrapper was very nice and smooth. The stick was solid throughout. There were a couple very thin veins in the wrapper, but they weren’t bad at all. This cigar gave off a sweet and earthy smell. This cap on this cigar was perfectly flush and cut nicely.

As soon as I lit up this cigar, there were also some strong earthy tones. There was also a little bit of spice that came out as well. This flavor combination stayed relatively consistent throughout the first inch and a half until some strong wood notes entered. It didn’t take long for the spice and wood combination to coat the tongue and palate.
