Delta

Delta from First Responders Cigar Company is the top-shelf statement piece of the lineup. Built with a tri-wrapper design using Connecticut, Habano, and Maduro tobacco, this 6 x 60 Double Toro is made to shift as you smoke it, creamy, spicy, dark, and rich all taking turns without losing the thread. Underneath the striped wrapper work, Delta uses Nicaraguan binder and filler to give it a steady foundation. Expect creamy cedar, toasted tobacco, cocoa, baking spice, earth, and a touch of pepper. The different wrapper leaves give it movement, but the Nicaraguan core keeps it from feeling scattered.

War Wagon's Take. Delta is the one people notice before they ever light it. The look grabs attention, but the smoke has to back it up, and this one does. It's not just a pretty barber-pole cigar thrown together for shelf appeal. It actually has some progression to it. This is a good pick for someone who wants something different without gambling on weird. It has size, flavor, and presentation, but it still smokes like it belongs in the same no-nonsense FRCC lineup. Great cigar when you want the stick itself to feel like part of the occasion.
