The Julius Caeser 1895 Perfecto Special Reserve features a dark looking Ecuador Havana wrapper with a nice amount of oils. The thin perfecto has a classy look to it that is rolled to perfection. There are no soft spots, and an average weight to the stick which features a band that has the bust of the founder of JC Newman.

The cold draw of the Julius Caeser 1895 Perfecto has a sweetness to it that borders on butterscotch, and while the foot of the stick is too small to get an aroma from, the wrapper has a slight cedar and nut. As we light the cigar the nut becomes the first note we experience with some coffee that follows. As we smoke further into the first third nuttiness remains as a bold coffee slowly become the dominant note.

As we enter the second third of the cigar, coffee is the dominant note with some hints of nuttiness in the background. There is also a touch of citrus present on the finish of the cigar. The retrohale is smooth with a touch of nuttiness and a hint of butterscotch.

As the cigar comes to a close the butterscotch becomes even more noticeable but the core of the cigar remains chock full o’ nuts and coffee. The retrohale and finish of the cigar sees cedar which carries over to the moderate finish.
