What do reviewers say about Havana and Cigar?
Old-school masculine that still knows how to make an entrance. The tobacco doesn't whisper, it occupies the room. If you're after something that asks nothing of you except confidence, this delivers.Havana
There's a version of confident that announces itself. Then there's this, sweet enough to disarm, dry enough to stay. Built for the man who orders first and apologizes never.Cigar
