Show Video: Episode 129

The Southern Draw Firethorn is the second line released by Southern Draw Cigars. The company was founded by Robert Holt and a group of U.S. Veterans. They have teamed up with A.J. Fernandez’s Tabacalera Fernandez to make their cigars. The name is appropriate to the company’s vision. Southern Draw seeks to keep to the promoting “Southern” culture and in particular paying homage to being a Southern gentleman. In terms of their cigars, the company has put considerable effort into have an effortless draw when enjoying a cigar. Finally, the company has designed their lines with the concept of pairing with a libation.

Very nice release by this new company. This isn’t going to be an overpowering smoke and I’d put this in the medium range in both strength and body. This is one of those cigars where if you really sit and savor this, you will see it has quite a bit going on. This is going to deliver notes of caramel, toast, baker’s spice, nut, and an interesting burnt fruit note that reminded me of cherries jubilee.

This is a company worth keeping an eye on. This one is worth a five pack.
