Final Thoughts:
89 Points
This cigar is more about the experience than the flavors, but I have to say it hit on all fronts with its flavors and quality.
Yes, it is a little pricy for them, but you're paying for the name Tommy Bhamma, and if I were on the beach relaxing, this is the cigar I would want. With the sea air, this cigar would definitely pop more in flavor.
