Description

The RoMa Craft Intemperance VO 1920 Bill McCoy is an exquisite short perfecto from the celebrated Intemperance Volstead 1920 series, paying tribute to Bill McCoy, the legendary rum-runner who smuggled genuine liquor during America’s Prohibition era. Precisely 5 inches long with a 50 ring gauge, this Nicaraguan masterpiece is rolled at the esteemed TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, featuring a lustrous Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper aged two years for optimal oil and vein structure, paired with a Mexican San Andrés binder and a powerhouse filler of Dominican Corojo ’98 and premium Nicaraguan Criollo tobaccos. It offers medium strength and body, delivering a rewarding 45-60 minute session of refined complexity. Ignite to reveal an explosive black pepper kick tempered by creamy dark coffee and bittersweet cocoa, with undertones of fresh earth and charred cedar. As it progresses, baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge alongside leathery richness, hints of molasses sweetness, and a subtle citrus brightness that prevents heaviness. The finale builds assertively with white pepper retrohale, toasted nuts, and a mineral backbone, culminating in a flawless Nicaraguan finish that lingers elegantly. Retoasting midway amplifies its finesse, suiting contemplative solo smokes or lively gatherings. Consistently scoring 92+ points, this cigar captures RoMa Craft’s audacious spirit—bold, balanced, and unapologetically premium.
