MUSTY MANURE?! The CASDAGLI Villa Casdagli Pigasus - CIGAR REVIEWS by CigarScore

You know, some cigar names are easy to say, like Padron or RoMaCraft. Others, like today's cigar from Casdagli, are extremely difficult. However, a cigars' name typically has little bearing on its flavors. So, today, we're going to dive right into the Casdagli Villa Casdagli Pigasus.Show more

Right off the bat, one of the first things I noticed about the Casdagli Villa Casdagli Pigasus was its aroma. It smelled like manure. Sorry, I mean it smelled earthy and like fertilizer.

Visually the cigar looks good. It's got great color tones, an oily-looking wrapper, and a closed foot with a tiny crack in it.

Giving the end a cut, even with a closed foot, I felt like a good draw was in my future. The cold draw had lots of cedar notes to it as well.

However, once lit, the Casdagli Villa Casdagli Pigasus had a tight draw, and there were some hard spots that could prove to be the culprits. That said, the flavors weren't bad. Things could get interesting.

Through the first 20-or-so minutes, the draw was still tight. To remedy that, I cut the cigar again, this time at a slight angle. However, the draw issues were only temporarily relieved, and I started to struggle once again.

Despite the tight draw, the overall construction does appear to be good. The flavors had a slight chemical-ish taste to them, even though they were aged an “extra 4 months.” There were also flavors that tasted a little sour, and a little of citrus.

Final Thoughts

After smoking the Casdagli Villa Casdagli Pigasus for right at 70 minutes, I had two main complaints. First, I wish the draw had been more open. For the entire cigar, I wanted the Pigasus to open up and give me more. Second, I didn't love the flavors that were somewhat sweet, a little woody, and sour citrusy.

But if I were to look at this cigar objectively and remove my flavor preferences from the equation, this isn't a bad cigar. So, the Casdagli Villa Casdagli Pigasus earns a CigarScore 4.
