The Island Jim Original represents the flagship cigar that launched this boutique brand's distinctive pencil-shaped concept. This original blend consists of rich Honduran filler and binder tobaccos inside a Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper leaf, delivering a heavy side of medium-full body that is never overpowering and quite smooth for such an intense flavor profile. The medium to full blend showcases the finest Honduran filler & binder tobaccos decked in a buttery-brown Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper leaf, with a profile that is earthy and sweet with rugged notes of pistachio and leather. Crafted through the collaboration between Pittsburgh cigar shop owner Jim Robinson and renowned Honduran cigar maker Oscar Valladares, this cigar features multicolored pieces to the wrapper in a purposeful attempt to make it look like a pencil. The cigar is produced by Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. in Honduras, maintaining the brand's commitment to quality construction and innovative design. Despite its rugged appearance, Island Jim is actually an exceptionally well-crafted cigar rolled with precision, delivering a huge volume of smoke, an easy draw, and a razor-sharp burn. Island Jim cigars are very serious cigars for very serious cigar connoisseurs, with beginners unable to genuinely appreciate the delicate puzzle pieces of the complex flavor profiles. The smoking experience begins with rich notes of earth and nuts, with complexity building as the cigar progresses, featuring hints of white pepper, nutmeg, and black cherry, held together by a bold, creamy tobacco note with each puff concluding with a sweet, chocolaty finish.
