The Micallef Blue cigar, released in March 2024, positions itself as a successor to the well-regarded Micallef Black. While the Black was known for its boldness, the Blue takes a different approach, offering a medium-bodied smoking experience that is both approachable and flavorful.
Blend and Construction:
The Micallef Blue features a unique blend that starts with a San Andrés Sumatra wrapper, an unexpected choice compared to the more common San Andrés seed leaf. This is paired with an Ecuadorian Habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. This combination promises a complex, yet smooth smoke.
Flavor Profile:
The Micallef Blue lives up to its promise of a mellow and enjoyable smoke. Initial puffs reveal notes of earth, rain-soaked wood, and a touch of coffee. As the cigar progresses, hints of maple syrup emerge, adding a touch of sweetness to the profile. The medium body keeps the flavors balanced, allowing them to shine without overwhelming the palate.
Burn and Draw:
The Micallef Blue generally performs well in terms of burn and draw. The construction is consistent, ensuring an even burn throughout the smoking experience. The draw is smooth and allows for effortless puffs. The cigar did not need any touchups and overall, it was a “Maintenance Free” smoking experience.
Value:
The Micallef Blue is touted for its affordability, making it a great choice for everyday enthusiasts. This, coupled with its medium-bodied profile, positions it as a solid option for both new and experienced cigar smokers. Seriously, at a price point of around $7.00 a cigar (based on MSRP of a box of 25), it is a HUGE missed opportunity if you are not stocking up of this fantastic creation.
Overall:
The Micallef Blue is a well-crafted cigar that delivers a pleasant and flavorful smoking experience. Its medium body and approachable profile make it a good choice for a variety of occasions. The attractive price point adds to its appeal. If you’re looking for a smooth and enjoyable smoke that won’t break the bank, the Micallef Blue is definitely worth considering.
