The Kelner LE 80 is a good cigar. From beginning to end the cigar delivers complementary and complex flavors. The cigar is balanced and smooth. The core flavors of coffee, earth, nuts, cream and hay are enjoyable from beginning to end, and there are nice additions within each third. Yes, I would come back to this cigar and would smoke at any time. I would love to bring a box to the beach.
This is the Klaas that I know and enjoy. A flavor profile that is complex and keeps you engaged with every draw. The medium-full strength is also nice because it's complimentary to the flavor profile, not stronger for the sake of being stronger. I'll gladly have more of these Avowed The Vow 7.05 Corona Gorda.
The Stoic Moderation had a nice flavor profile through the first two thirds, with the unique mustiness and a plethora of other flavor components. It took a step down in the final third as the mustiness lost its uniqueness and was a bit more cedar and earth driven. I’d be up for coming back to this cigar and also interested in trying the other vitolas in the line to see what they deliver.
The Avowed New Dawn Toro was a terrific cigar from beginning to end. The flavor profile was on point, and it started out great out of the gates. The burn and draw were amazing, and you can't ask for any more with a cigar. The strength and body were perfect throughout, and matched well with the flavors. The mocha and butter-like notes were fantastic!
