Smoking 2 Cigars At Once? The Definition Cigars The Walking Stick & The DC Kinsman

Putting These To The Test
Definition Cigars · Robusto

Tasting notes

First third

Can start slightly dry with notes of baking cocoa, earth, and light spice.

Second third

Opens up into a creamier texture with amped-up sweetness, citrus notes, and "chocolate mousse" or "key lime pie" undertones.

Final third

Deepens with charred oak, leather, and coffee, maintaining a balance between "light and bright" and "dark and rich" flavors.

Pairs with

espresso, coffee, a high proof bourbon.

Burn: razor sharp

Draw: Often described as "Goldilocks" draw—not too loose, not too tight. Because of the larger 54 ring gauge, it has a very free-flowing air passage that allows you to pull thick clouds of smoke without much effort.

Construction: Both the Noir Connecticut and the DC Kinsman feature a traditional triple cap, which is the hallmark of a well-made cigar. This allows for a clean cut without the wrapper unraveling.
