Queen Of Battle

Queen of Battle from Surpassion is the lighter side of the battlefield, but don't mistake that for weak. Built in honor of 250 years of U.S. Infantry excellence, this mild-to-medium Toro is steady, clean, and precise, the kind of cigar that knows exactly what it is and doesn't need to shout about it. Wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut with an Ecuadorian Habano binder and Dominican filler, Queen of Battle opens with creamy cedar, graham cracker sweetness, toasted grain, and a soft touch of vanilla. As it settles in, a little white pepper, honeyed oat, and light floral character keep it from falling flat. This is an easy cigar to recommend without feeling like you're handing someone a beginner stick. It's smooth, approachable, and composed, but still has enough flavor to keep a seasoned smoker interested.

War Wagon's Take. Queen of Battle is the easy recommendation in this lineup. It's smooth, creamy, and approachable, but it still has enough flavor to keep it from being boring. This is the one we'd hand to a newer smoker, a Connecticut fan, or someone who wants a clean cigar that won't beat them up. It's also a good reminder that mild doesn't have to mean flavorless. This one has enough cedar, sweetness, and soft spice to make it worth smoking all the way through.
