92 Points - Whisky Advocate

"This legacy distiller was revived by the founder’s descendant in 2015. Its Cigar Blend (in various batches) was created by master blender Nancy Fraley. The nose offers cherry, red berries, muted rye spice, vanilla and whipped cream. The palate has more red berry notes, fruity but also savory, with spice, pepper, and tobacco. A smooth yet complex finish. A great amalgamation of flavors, and yes, it would go very well with a cigar. "

Grade: A (Drinkhacker)

"The nose on Cigar Blend is sultry, with sweet tobacco smoke, dark fruit, and vanilla frosting. I’m tempted to just inhale this one instead of drink it. On the palate, it’s all kinds of southern dessert: toasted pecan, vanilla bean, and butter brickle perfectly layered with sweet fig jam and dark berry cobbler. It’s got a thick, oily mouthfeel that leaves all of those flavors hanging well into a generous finish that, like Magnus’s other offerings, has the perfect amount of heat."
