Nat Sherman Metropolitan Banker Cigars in Maduro are a very cool burning fine cigar with medium body and tasty intonations of cocoa, leather, sweet tobacco, and a pinch of pepper. The flavors are very nice and very defined. The beauty of a large ring gauge cigar like the Banker is that it should burn cooler and not get too hot to handle while still delivering bountiful smoke if properly constructed like a high quality Nat Sherman is.
