3.75 out of 4 Excellent!���� Publicly available hype and history from CI states: “Southern Draw is one of the newest brands to hit our shelves, and I have to say, bravo. Each created by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua, so you can expect some big things. Jacob’s Ladder is easily one of Southern Draw’s most flavorful cigars. Best described as heavenly, this handmade treat features a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper and is brimming with Nicaraguan fillers leading to notes of cedar, spice, and espresso. This delicious little gem will surely leave you wanting more…” My take is: This is reminiscent of a a Fuente only stronger. Very tasty and great flavor. Thought it would kick me down the curb but it’s just not as strong as many articles and comments led me to believe it would be. Powerful in flavor and well balanced. Only subtle pepper, even on the retro . I enjoyed t very much and looking forward to having the next four after some time in the humi.
