RoMa Craft Intemperance EC XVIII Industry

The Industry is the larger expression of the EC XVIII blend, stepping up from the Faith's 5 × 50 to a roomier 5½ × 54 Toro. The extra ring gauge opens up the draw and lets the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper develop more of its natural sweetness over a slightly longer burn. The Intemperance name nods to the Prohibition era — the EC XVIII designation references the 18th Amendment — and the full line is made at RoMa Craft's own Fabrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño in Estelí, Nicaragua.

What it tastes like

The Industry shares the EC XVIII's foundational character — smooth, creamy, wrapper-forward — but the wider ring gauge gives the Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers more room, which nudges the chocolate and cedar notes into slightly greater prominence. The Ecuadorian Connecticut remains the lead voice: golden, mild, and sweet. Caramel and cream weave through the mid-section, and the Besuki binder grounds it with a faint earthiness. This is a consistent, pleasant smoke from start to finish with no harshness and an easy draw. Mild-to-medium body throughout.

Who it's for

The Industry is a great everyday cigar for smokers who prefer a relaxed, flavorful experience over strength and intensity. It's long enough at 5½ inches for a proper 45-minute smoke without being an hour-plus commitment. Pair it with a coffee or a honey whiskey and enjoy it at any time of day.
