‍ ‍Tasting Notes

• Dark Chocolate – Dense and slightly dry

• Black Pepper – Bold, gritty spice

• Leather – Thick, savory core

• Earth – Deep, heavy finish

First Impressions

The Blockhead has a rugged, box-pressed look with a dark, toothy Broadleaf wrapper. It feels solid and well packed in hand. Pre-light aroma brings cocoa, earth, and raw tobacco. Cold draw is slightly firm but promising, hinting at a full-bodied experience.

Smoking Experience

• First Third – Opens with dark chocolate and pepper immediately taking control. Smoke is thick, rich, and full-bodied.

• Second Third – Leather and earth build depth, creating a heavy, muscular profile typical of the line. Burn starts to drift slightly.

• Final Third – The cigar maintains its bold character, but requires a few corrections to keep the burn in line. Flavors remain strong and satisfying.

Pairings

• Alcohol – Knob Creek 9 Year Bourbon (USA) - Strong oak, caramel, and spice stand up to the cigar’s bold, earthy profile.

• Tea – Chinese Hei Cha (Anhua Dark Tea) - Deep fermented earthiness complements the cigar’s dense, savory character.

Music Pairing

“War Pigs” – Black Sabbath
Slow, powerful, and heavy — perfectly matching the cigar’s muscular profile.

Final Thoughts

RoMa Craft CroMagnon Blockhead delivers bold, dense flavors with chocolate, leather, and earth in a powerful, full-bodied experience. A few burn corrections slightly interrupt the flow but don’t take away from the cigar’s strong character.

Final Score: 8/10
Why not a 10?
Burn inconsistencies requiring corrections reduced overall smoothness and refinement.

Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10.
