Nat Sherman Omerta – Cigar Review

Smoking Characteristics: The Nat Sherman Omerta lights up with a bit of cocoa, coffee, oak, and a lot of
deep spice. The draw starts out a little tight, so I do a second cut on the cap since it was so generous.
After the second cut, it opens up and provides a full body of rich smoke which is a bit creamy and has a
nice mix of spice in it. Each draw leaves a bit of spice and wood on the palate. The strength is
somewhere around medium to full, with a nice buzz setting in early on.
Into the second third all the flavors ramp up a bit, but the coffee flavors take over the profile a little. The
notes of spice, cocoa, and oak are all still present. The draw is still easily producing a full body of the
rich, cool, smoke which has a light sweetness to it. The ash tight and firm easily to the inch point and
does not break off too easily. The burn is nearly razor sharp requiring just a slight touch up.
The flavor remains consistent into the final third without much of an evolution. The strength picks up a
bit becoming almost full, but not quite there. The construction still preforms amply without too much of
a touch up needed on the burn. The ash did break away on its own once, ironically right as I was
commenting on how firm and how long it was holding for. It smokes cool to the nub coming in at over
two hours of smoking time.
Conclusion: The Nat Sherman Omerta is an good selection with a nice blend of flavors and excellent
strength. It held an ash well and required minimal touch ups. The strength was a bit unusual for a Nat
