Believe the Hype—A 98-Rating Masterpiece
“I’m always skeptical when a cigar gets a massive rating, but the Pledge Prequel earns every bit of it. The dark, oily Connecticut Habano wrapper is stunning, and the box-press is perfectly executed. Right from the light, you’re hit with a complex profile of spicy oak, black cherry, and licorice. It’s bold and full-bodied, but the construction is so precise that the transition into the second half—which brings out baked apple and creamy milk chocolate—is seamless. If you want to see what a master blender at the top of his game looks like, smoke this cigar.”
