This medium-strength cigar delivers earthy, creamy, and peppery notes. Its Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper is entwined with a Candela leaf, which covers a Nicaraguan binder and a filler made of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The Oscar 2012 Barberpole is a joy to behold and to smoke. The cigar is handmade at the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. factory in Honduras.
