Each year since Cubariqueño Cigar Company's debut in 2015, the company has introduced a new police-themed blend in their lineup of Protocol Cigars. After sufficiently covering the major blend types throughout their first three years, the brand then doubled back in 2018, showcasing a new take on the Nicaraguan-based Habano with Protocol Official Misconduct.
Outfitted with the now-ubiquitous "P" logo design, the Official Misconduct distances itself from the respective blue, red, and gold color schemes of former Protocol releases, being cloaked in an eye-catching silver from head to toe. As far as tobacco is concerned, the blend is most similar to the original Protocol Blue (featuring a Nicaraguan binder/filler and Ecuadorian Habano wrapper), but the experience has changed; this is evidenced by a much more dialed-down body, catering towards refined nuances over palate-pounding strength.
Protocol Official Misconduct is closer to medium in body, ranking somewhere between the brand's former Themis (lighter in body) and Probable Cause (medium-plus) offerings. As a result, enthusiasts are treated to an assortment of complex, Nicaraguan-based flavors, including medium-roast coffee, loads of black pepper, earth, raisin sweetness, and custard-like cream.
It's official: this is a must-have cigar for the enthusiast!
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.
Chad Moorman - Protocol Silver Officeial Misconduct Toro (Verified buyer)
Not the greatest smoke. I have had burn issues. The flavor is very pepper but not much else. I have aged them some and they have improved some. Overall not my favorite.

I kind of enjoyed the others but this one was awesome! Just a really great medium-full body smoke. Definitely one to put in regular rotation.
