Description

Named for the time a bull rider must stay mounted to score, Eight Seconds is Amendola's most intense offering — a dark San Andrés maduro wrapper over a bold Nicaraguan core that delivers waves of dark chocolate, coffee, and earthy leather. It is a rodeo of a cigar that keeps you holding on through shifts from sweet molasses to sharp pepper. The brand's Italian-American grit comes through in every puff.
