Protocol Themis cigars get their inspiration from the Greek goddess of divine law and order; you know, the Lady of Justice holding the scales seen in every courthouse. That image not only ties-in to the Cubariqueño Cigar Company's police officer back story, it's also a clue for how well-balanced these cigars taste. The blend, created by the La Zona factory's Hector Alfonso Sr., consists of prime Nicaraguan long-fillers and binder seamlessly rolled in a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, and is offered in two sizes - a 5" x 52 Robusto and a 6" x 52 Toro.
In their review of the line, Stogiepress.com wrote: "Overall, the Protocol Themis was a delicious and complex medium body and strength cigar that was easy to smoke and enjoy. It's certainly a cigar that could be enjoyed anytime of the day and would pair well with a morning cup of Joe or a spiced rum in the evening."
If you're looking for a rich-tasting Nicaraguan blend with a little less muscle and a lot of complexity, add some Protocol Themis to your cart and discover why Protocol has become one of the leading boutique cigar brands on the market.
If you are looking for top shelf quality and some smooth crisp near medium flavor this blend is a must try. Excellent toasty woody flavors with a perfect burn and draw. One fine cigar it is!
Best Connecticut on the market. I have smoked a couple boxes of these. Incredibly consistent. Beautillfuy made cigar. Definitely worth a box buy. Highly recommend.
This is Delicious! It never disappoints!
Perfect!
Fantastic cigar. Flavors of nuts and cream. Pairs great with your morning coffee. It has a razor sharpe burn with flawless construction. This my go to morning cigar, but makes for an excellent anytime cigar. Overall an exceptional smoke. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
This is simply the best CT shade wrapped lancer I ve ever smoked. The La Zona team hit a serious home run with this cigar. If you like lanceros, this is a must try, and I expect it will be very highly rated from some top reviewers.
For someone that has never been a fan of CT shade wrapper, I find this blend in CG and Lancero absolutely awesome. Whether you re a regular CT smoker, or someone like me that leans toward full body full flavor, you will find something about the Themis to love. It seems like many companies have felt the need to release a CT shade wrapped cigar recently, and this one is a standout.
Pre-light:Cold draw taste of tobacco and earthiness.First third:Great smoke output, burning nicely. A slight spiciness, nuts, and creamy very smooth. a slight spice on the retro.Next third:Smoke volume and burn still on point. In this size the flavors are more mellow than in the lancero. Coffee is creeping in the mix still nutty and creamy with a very smooth retro.Final third:Sooo smooth all the previous flavors still present and mingling nicely. Spice has picked up a touch in the retro. Smoke and burn both outstanding for the duration.Final thoughts:Yet again another great stick from the great guys at Protocol. Get you some if you can this size only available at Famous Smoke Shop.
