This cigar was assessed in depth on Cigar Coop.
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Corona Gorda: 5 3/4 x 46
Price: $14.80
The Nat Sherman Sterling addresses a particular niché in the Nat Sherman portfolio – delivering an ultra-premium ($9.00 to $15.00 price point), milder cigar.
This is definitely a milder cigar. The strength starts out mild and goes only to Mild to Medium by the last third. The flavors are subtle – and that is the this cigar’s differentiator – starting mild to medium-bodied and going to medium-bodied by the end. The Sterling starts out creamy in the first third, transitions to more natural tobacco and nut in the second third, and delivers some subtle spice at the end. The construction is outstanding and should not be subject to Paul Syndrome.
It’s a pricy, niché cigar, but it does deliver a great experience. It’s definitely worth a box split.
