The Needle is the basis for the entire Cypher 3311 series. The name refers to Jeremy's grandfather, Major A.T. Casdagli, who resisted the Germans during the war in the manner of a needle. While spending four years as a prisoner of war in a German prison camp, Major Casdagli sent a bold message of resistance using the seemingly innocent skill of needlepoint. The edge of the innocent-looking tapestry the officer stitched had a series of dots and lines that in Morse code represented "God save the King" and "F- Hitler." The Germans were unaware of the hidden message but were impressed by the skill of the captured officer and even displayed it.
It is one of the greatest stories you can read about giving punishment to your enemy. And now it's the story that will accompany our new cigar.
The Needle has everything Cypher 3311 has to offer. It uses the same exotic filler tobaccos from Costa Rica as the Lorenz and Enigma vitolas, but enhanced even more with Peruvian and Dominican filler tobaccos. The wrapper is from the Puriscal region of Costa Rica and the silky floral wrapper is Ecuadorian Habano Claro Colorado. This cigar has moderate strength and offers a deep creamy almond experience on the tongue with hints of marzipan. Its flattened shape and narrower caliber still make it a mellow cigar, but on the tongue it delivers deeper and spicier flavors compared to the Colossus.
The notes that the cigar offers throughout the burn:
Cream, almond, marzipan, baking spices, pepper
Smoking time is 60 to 75 minutes.
