Overtime by Karen Berger (6×60)

If you smoked the Halftime and didn’t want it to end, Karen Berger heard you. The Overtime is the regular production answer to what started as a limited edition — the same closed foot, the same pigtail cap, the same Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper over an Indonesian Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan filler blend that made the Halftime one of the most talked-about Karen Berger releases in recent memory. The difference is the format: where Halftime was a compact 4×60, Overtime stretches the experience into a full 6×60 built for smokers who want to settle in and let the blend fully open up over a long, unhurried burn.

Rolled at the Karen Berger factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Overtime delivers the rich, bold character of that Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper from first light — dark fruit, espresso, cocoa, leather, and a natural sweetness from the Sumatra binder that builds and evolves beautifully as the wide ring gauge works its way through the blend. The closed foot keeps the first draw pristine and the flavors focused right from the start.
