Blended by Julio and Christian Eiroa of — no surprise for CigarJack readers — Camacho, Black Cat’s Prive Rouge cigar is another of the company’s premium lines.
The Prive Rouge has a good prelight draw and a smooth, caramel-colored Connecticut sun-grown wrapper, which gives it an exceptionally smooth scent and flavor, with a touch of sweetness. Once lit, I found it was tangy and sweet, but in the first half of the cigar, the sweetness was joined by a slightly spicy aftertaste, which I enjoyed. Towards the end, I tasted hints of cocoa.
These are well-made cigars I got a very even burn, and good column of grey ash. The draw stayed consistent throughout.
Verdict: A very enjoyable cigar at a great price. When you consider flavor and price, I think it may be the best all-around cigar Black Cat offers.
Similar cigars: The La Fontana Vintage, sans the sweet cap.
