El Septimo Sacred Arts Da Vinci cigars have a special distinction. One of them had a popular reviewer so thrilled that it would have earned one of the top ratings ever given out. The cigar didn’t maintain its exquisite qualities all the way through, or across examples, but this is definitely a blend with tremendous potential. The flavors are outstanding, and show the same flashes of genius that once guided old Leonardo Da Vinci himself as he sketched out inventions, anatomical studies, and fine art – the consummate Renaissance man.

What goes into the blend, we can’t say. The company keeps the specifics secret on these Sacred Arts cigars. What we CAN say is that the wrapper leaf is beautiful, dark, and shiny. It’s totally inviting, like the scene at The Last Supper from which the blend draws inspiration. Like all 7 stogies in the Sacred Arts series, it's dedicated both to the famous artist in the name and one of the days of creation named in the Bible. This one is meant to recall the very first day, on which God created light out of the darkness.

You can do the same thing when you smoke the El Septimo Sacred Arts Da Vinci cigar. Just walk out onto the patio at night with your lighter and spark it.

“Let there be light!”

The cigar is a long and thin 7 1/2 x 40 Lancero. This type of smoke is a different experience than those fatties with huge ring gauges that are so popular nowadays. Instead, this one is sophisticated and easy to handle. Perfect for a final meal before a long-awaiting moment is set to arrive. Enjoy the earthy flavors of black pepper, cocoa powder, and oak. Then consider the notes of anise and coffee as the profile finishes and you let the draw go.

Eat, drink, and be merry! For tomorrow, we may die.
