Astral Phoenix

The Astral line is handmade in the cigar making Mecca of Danli, Honduras. This is an acclaimed and highly recognized brand, known for its mild-to-medium body and consistently high quality production. The Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut shade wrapper gives the Phoenix featured this month an elegant appearance while well-aged, top-notch tobaccos come together just as elegantly with silky espresso and cream flavors. We found this Churchill to have a good draw, a perfect burn, and plenty of smoke volume. Look for a pleasant cedar aroma, followed by a somewhat sweet earthy character that finishes with a slightly spicy, woody impression. Astral has been consistently highly rated in Cigar Aficionado and Smoke Magazine and we know that you're going to enjoy this well-made cigar. Overall, a great smoke that is complemented nicely with an oak-heavy chardonnay.
