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.

Agreed!! Looks like we all had "similar-ish" experiences - it was a great stick, for me I wish that pepper wouldn't have pushed through so hard, or I would've very much enjoyed it more, I don't need that aggressive white/ black pepper anymore lol, but all in all it was a great stick, and I think the scores reflect that - Thanks again Byron :smoker:
Finally got feedback for everyone, thanks for do this review. :biggrin:
