The L’Atelier Surrogates blended by Pete Johnson and produced at the My Father factory in Nicaragua, Surrogates delivers boutique craftsmanship with bold flavor at a more accessible price point. On the palate you’ll encounter rich notes of dark chocolate and espresso, intertwined with leather and black pepper—and depending on the specific Surrogates vitola you may also pick up cedar, nutmeg, and a sweet-spice finish. The texture is creamy and dense, the body medium-to-full, and the finish lingers with a balanced combination of earth, subtle sweetness and lingering pepper.

Description
The blend
Ecuadorian Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua. A Robusto, and the shop rates it medium-full in strength.
What it smokes like
This is how it has been described in print:
“The tobacco has notes of warm bread pudding, toasted almonds, cream, and toffee.” “The sweetness and spice hold steady, while the earlier notes of cedar and earth begin to return for a pleasant surprise.” — Blind Man’s Puff, who scored it 92.
Worth saying that palates differ, and the only opinion that settles it is your own.
Tasting notes sourced from Blind Man’s Puff.
