The Cigar: Dissident Tirade 2020

The Specs:
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés
Binder: Ecuador
Filler: Nicaraguan
Country of Origin: Nicaragua and Dominican Republic.
Strength: Full
Size: 5.5" x 46 - Corona Gorda

Shipping: US addresses only

Due Date: October 25, 2022

The Hype:
Revitalized in 2019, Dissident cigars returned after a four-year hiatus, having changed ownership and moved production to Black Label Trading Company's Fábrica Oveja Negra. With updated artwork and reworked blends, Dissident cigars prioritizes quality components and construction, utilizing traditional methods but with a rebellious approach that defies complacency.

The Tirade cigar is a single-vitola line, offered in a 5.5" x 46 Corona Gorda size, and comprises a Mexican San Andrés wrapper with an Ecuadorian binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Though not a special-edition series, the Tirade isn't a regular-production cigar from Dissident and instead is created in small batches at a slightly greater frequency than what Dissident would consider pure, special-edition lines.

The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the October review. This review will be due by October 25, so please take into account your schedule and only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Beegerply will make the final selection.

Note[/i]: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer.

Thanks again to Beegerply for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!

I can't believe there are no volunteers yet!  Is everybody too caught up in watching Her Majesty's 2 week long funeral??

Oveja Negra is one of my favorite factories.  I would love to get in on this one Byron.
