Overview

The short version on TTCC Volume VIII: distinct flavor, useful balance, and enough personality to justify another pass through the 5.75x52 Belicoso. We chose TTCC Volume VIII for the club because it gives members something specific to discuss after the last draw.

The Story

Inside the September 2023 club selection.

Working with Quesada for Volume VIII let us hand members a Belicoso from MATASA, where Corojo and H2K meet a creamy caramel-and-oak profile. TTCC Volume VIII became our way of putting that experience into a box.

Why We Recommend It

For smokers exploring Tobacco Tactical's club archive.

TTCC Volume VIII makes sense once cigar club night begins and flavor matters more than spectacle. TTCC Volume VIII stays specific enough to remember after the band is gone.
