Lars Tetens Bellator Review

Wrapper: Pennsylvania Broadleaf

Filler: Georgia, Kentucky, and North Carolina

Price: $40

A couple weeks ago there was a “Grand Opening” even at the new cigar shop by my house, The Smoking Dog. During the opening weekend they had the area representatives for Lars Tetens in the shop. Well I got to talking with the reps and they suggested I review this cigar. After finding out a little about this stick, I learned it had a massive $40 price tag. So, for the record, this is the most expensive cigar that I have ever smoked.

This cigar is massive 6” x 60. The wrapper is a couple shades of brown, but that is what you get with the Pennsylvania broadleaf. The cigar itself is a little soft, not as solid as I expected. There are no veins throughout the entire wrapper. The cap is also perfectly flush. The cigar gives off a very strong smell. There is a strong black cherry aroma. The cigar cut very clean and was very easy to light.

When I first lit up this cigar, I didn’t know what to expect. I was hit with a great amount of earth as well as a faint black cherry flavor. There is a little spice that comes out after a few puffs, and the spice eventually stains the lips. About an inch into this cigar, the spice picks up a bit more. There is a little bit of sweetness compliments the spice nicely. The remainder of the first half of this cigar is full of earthy notes and nice wood notes.

Filler: Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro

Price: $9.00 - $10.00

Up until a couple days ago, I had never heard of Lars Tetens cigars. The new shop by me, The Smoking Dog, recently got a large shipment from this company. I was talking with the owner, and she asked me if I would be interested in reviewing one of his cigars. So she gave me this one to try out. Since I had never had any cigars from this company, I was intrigued by what I could experience here. Since I am a fan of full bodied cigars, she suggested this particular cigar.

As soon as I took this cigar out, I new it was different. The wrapper was very dark brown and very solid. This cigar smells like birch beer. Yes, that’s right, like birch beer. I have never had a cigar that wasn’t infused or flavored smell quite like this before. There were no veins throughout the entire wrapper. The cigar was a little difficult to light, but it cut very clean.

The flavor right away was spicy. The spice was very overpowering and actually dulled out some of the other flavors. There was a slight birch beer flavor coming through that I was expecting to get eventually because of its strong aroma. About a half inch in, the spice finally dulled down. Then some nice earthy tones came out. There were also some nice oak flavors that came out as well. The peppery spice then transformed into a cinnamon flavor which was a good change of pace.
