The Flathead range of cigars is absolutely impressive. And who wouldn’t love a sparkplug cigar with a pigtail!

When I cut the cap I noticed a relatively large hole, about 5x5mm, but surprisingly it didn’t cause much of an issue. Once lit, this little cigar delivers a powerful punch with an abundance of black pepper and leather flavours. It’s definitely a spicy sparkplug.
This cigar is full of character, and during the second third I detected a hint of roasted peanuts. While the dominant notes of leather and pepper can be a bit overwhelming, the finish is remarkably long-lasting.
The burn isn’t flawless, but the smoke output is generous. Towards the last third, a touch of sweetness emerges providing a nice contrast. Overall, this cigar is a potent pepper bomb that would even overpower most seasoned smokers, including myself.
