The Hawk Flavor

The Blackbird Hawk has a very unique flavor, unlike anything we’ve had before. It starts out with a cocoa flavor, and transitions into a more woodsy flavor consisting of cedar and citrus. It also has a bit of black pepper in the retro-hale in the beginning that transitions into more of a graham cracker flavor by the end.

Towards the second third, The Hawk opens up into a sweet creamy flavor with a little bit of spice still lingering by the black pepper.

By the end, the flavor really mellows out with a sweet woodsy flavor and a bit of spice.

Draw

The Hawk has a great draw with medium resistance. The flavors flows freely through the cigar with smoke continuing to tunnel out of the cap after each puff.

It has a medium smoke texture that adequately carries the flavor through.

The approximate burn time of The Hawk is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Appearance / Construction

The Hawk has a unique color unlike any cigar out there. It has a matte chocolatey wrapper, with a mustard color band. The band also has a teal border that really makes the mustard color pop.

The band features raised lettering in cool, handwritten script that says “The Hawk”. It also has raised little haws adorned around the band. Finally, it has the iconic brand names of both Blackbird Cigar Co, and The Cigar Culture on the backside with an easy-to-pull tab to take the band off.

The construction on the Hawk is incredible. It is built very well, burns even, and even survived a few drops without any damage.

Conclusion

Overall we really enjoyed The Hawk. It has a unique flavor that will give you a new experience in a cigar. Blackbird Cigars did an amazing job crafting this cigar, and it’s definitely one you should try before they’re gone forever!
