“In the veiled hours, where the world fades and shadows deepen, a vision ignited. Not from the halls of corporate giants, but from the heart of a community, a brotherhood forged in smoke and shared passion.”
This is the tale of the Project I.T.S. Cigar, a Maduro born from the mind of Tony, the ‘Soy Sauce Assassin’. Tony, with his sharp wit and unwavering dedication to finding the best things in life, ventured into the heart of the Dominican Republic. Through multiple trials, the I.T.S. Cigar was composed. The cigars are assembled by the skillful hands of artisans at the Las Lavas Factory, where legends are born in clouds of fragrant smoke.
“We wanted to create something that we as reviewers really can’t complain about — everything we dislike, we addressed in this (I.T.S.) Cigar,” Tony recounts, his voice a low rumble like the smoke from a perfectly aged cigar. “Something that not only resonates with established aficionados that already have great understanding of the language of the leaf, but also resonates with newbies who are just starting to learn the art of cigar. The allure of flavors — who doesn’t even retrohale — we want to create a cigar that people can taste, the cigar simply trying to speak the language of the shadow. This isn’t just a cigar; it’s a journey. A journey into the depths of flavor, where darkness meets light, and complexity unfolds with every draw, bringing an exciting story all the way even beyond your last draw.”
Close your eyes and imagine a cigar taste and feel as dark as the midnight sky, its textured wrapper whispering secrets of cocoa and aged wood to you. The first draw is an invitation, a step into the shadows where light floral notes dance with a peppery embrace, a subtle saltiness that awakens the senses, followed by the rich comforting hold of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a honeyed woodiness that lingers like your cherished memory.
This is the Project “In The Shadows (I.T.S.)” Cigar. A full-bodied, medium-plus to full-strength masterpiece, crafted with unwavering dedication to flavor and consistency. From the first puff to the last, it delivers an experience that is both bold and nuanced — a testament to the vision of the Shadow Smokers Legion.
This goes beyond just a cigar; it’s a connection to a community, a shared experience, a moment of pure unadulterated pleasure. It is a product of the Shadow Smokers Legion. Step into the shadows. Light up Project I.T.S. Cigar and discover the whispers of the night.
