Year of the Dragon is a limited, San Andrés‑wrapped release using all‑Nicaraguan filler aged from 2014 and a double‑binder approach to increase structure. The blend leans toward coffee and espresso early, with dark‑chocolate and cocoa undertones and a backbone of black pepper and earth; intermittent cherry or fruit notes surface during transitions. Strength sits medium‑to‑medium‑full and the cigar's presentation—red‑and‑gold livery and selective boxings—underscores its limited nature. It's a focused, aged San Andrés statement built for smokers who want roast and depth with an occasional fruit edge.
