This cigar was assessed in depth on Cigar Coop.
Back on Episode 79 of Stogie Geeks, Debonaire co-founder Phil Zanghi broke news of this new line extension that became the sixth frontmark in the core Debonaire line. This cigar added a 4 x 44 petite salomon into the line. The name “First Degree” is a masonic term meaning entry point. As Zanghi told Stogie Geeks, it serves a purpose of introducing people to his premium line of cigars. After smoking the First Degree, a next logical step is to smoke the Debonaire Sagita. Sagita means “arrow” and this leads the way to the other vitolas such as the Solomones, Toro, Robusto, and Belicoso.
