The BA stands for Brazilian Arapiraca. The XXI refers to the 21st Amendment that repealed Prohibition. Intemperance evokes the history of the Prohibition Era and features a logo inspired by a famous artifact of the temperance movement. Back to the smoke, it is slightly milder than the CroMagnon or the Aquitaine. It is a smooth mild to medium bodied cigar with a creamy, nutty, and woody top notes and and a hefty touch of spice. Towards the end, the spice takes a backseat to sweetness, thanks to the Aripiraca wrapper.
