Description
The Cavalier Genève Black Series II Tempura packs Cavalier’s San Andrés blend into a stubby 4 x 60 perfecto finished with a pigtail: Mexican wrapper leaf, a habano binder from Nicaragua and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. halfwheel says Cavalier Genève makes it in Honduras, at its own Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A.
What It Tastes Like
Critics have yet to publish a write-up on this particular size, so we lean on reviews of its Black Series II siblings. Stogie Press gave the 6 x 60 Toro Gordo 90 points on June 7, 2020, picking up licorice and a touch of coriander early, then cocoa and cream, with wood arriving late, at medium strength. halfwheel’s Petit N2 review led with earth and cream, then a dry cappuccino tone and a peppery close.
Who It’s For
- San Andrés fans wanting that Mexican leaf in a compact, wide shape.
- Black Series II regulars curious about the line’s shortest size.
- Shape collectors comparing the Tempura across three Cavalier blends.

About the Black Series II
Black Series II began shipping in July 2017, with a “Rhein 1905” band honoring Tabak Rhein, the 1905-founded Geneva tobacconist Cavalier Genève acquired in late 2016 (halfwheel). Cigar Coop previewed the Tempura at PCA in April 2024, and halfwheel later reported it shipping in boxes of 15.
