4/18/25 I rate this cigar at 94. Purchased 5 pack from Cigars Daily. The name, Echo-Hale, brings together the notion of the retro-hale (the heartbeat of flavor complexity), and the echo – how bats see the world. However the flavor in this cigar also echo’s across the palate. On the box, the words ‘sense everything’ are an invitation to dive into a deep and wide flavor that will capture your taste buds in a new way.
