Cavalier Geneve White Series Cigar Review
Smoke Gold, Stay Gold. At least, that's what they say over at Cavalier Geneve Cigars. Their gold embossed blends have quickly set themselves apart from other cigars in the humidor with an ultra high end presentation at a daily cigar price point. But are Cavalier cigars just flash and sizzle or is there real substance to these blends?
Today, we're taking a deep dive into the Cavalier White Series to see just what it has to offer. The blend features a unique filler leaf from Paraguay. But ultimately it all comes down to the blending. Can Cavalier produce an elite experience to match their luxury presentation? The only way to find out is with a cut and a light!
