Initial Thoughts
The RoMa Craft Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 is a medium-brown cigar with a half-assed attempt at a shaggy foot. It features a nice-looking Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leaf, and boasts a solid, meaty 5 x 56 vitola.
Due to the shaggy foot, the first few puffs were absent the flavors from the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. To start, the flavors were somewhat sweet, likely due to the Mexican binder.
After a few minutes, the flavors were mildly doughy spice. The smoke output was fantastic from the beginning, and I had high hopes for the RoMa Craft Intemperance Volstead VO 1920.
