"A short belicoso that smokes evenly, offering flavors that start with sweet, floral cedar notes in top of a profound, peppery backbone of flavor."

More about the cigar:

While it may have some history, don’t be fooled, this isn’t your grandfather’s stogie. This is the boldest cigar in the JC Newman line. Made with full-bodied tobacco grown from some of the richest soils in Nicaragua, the El Baton has a spicy kick that creates a surprising experience.

The impact and flavor in this cigar can usually only be experienced for twice the price of the El Baton but keeping true to its motto, this cigar gives smokers something the true aficionado deserves.
