On this latest episode of EDS, Tony and Fingers review the Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper cigar and 2XO Oak Series American Oak. This Gatekeeper is a 6x52 Ecuadorian habano-wrapped beauty which showcases Nicaragua's finest tobacco with a Nicaraguan and Dominican filler. The hosts immediately note its substantial hand feel and attractive appearance - brown with mottled black streaking through the oily, gritty wrapper. As they progress through the smoke, they identify a journey from initial bready sweetness and nuttiness to a building cedar-like spice that dominates the middle third before revealing more tobacco-forward flavors.
