A long time ago, a very wise and wealthy old man told me something I never forgot, ” When you learn how to do something right, do just that over and over again and you’ll eventually succeed.” This great brands original edition offered here has been satisfying discerning smokers for over 20 years. While their price has risen over the years like everything else, they remain well made, consistent and balanced medium to full bodied sticks. The pure Dominican fillers and binder are perfectly blended within a USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper create a rich flavorful cigar that has stood the test of time. I highly suggest a five pack of your preferred size to see for yourself.

Ok, I’ll admit it. This is one of my personal favorites. Henry Clay has a rich heritage dating back to Cuba. Cigar giant Altadis has done a great job with this old school brand. This complex little guy is wrapped in a near black USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf with a Honduran Broadleaf binder. The Dominican fillers are combined with a rarely used, very powerful Capa Dura Honduran leaf which oddly enough, is a leaf thats grows on the plant after its been harvested. The result is a highly rated medium-full bodied pigtailed powerhouse with a $4 price.

Gather ’round boys and girls and listen to a very interesting story. The long fillers and binder contained in this box pressed beauty are from 2012-2013 vintage crops. That alone makes for a great cigar.
Where this stick separates itself from virtually all premiums is the USA Connecticut grown Broadleaf wrapper and the harvesting method employed for this edition. We know that after leaves are cut from the plant they’re either stored, aged, cured, fermented or a combination thereof. The plants grown for this cigars wrapper are actually cut off at the stalks base. Then the entire plant is hung upside down in the curing barns to age. This process allows all the minerals, nutrients and oils to continue flowing into the leaves. The result is a totally unique tasting , smooth and balanced medium to full bodied stick that is 92 rated and became a top 25 cigar of the year in 2017. I very, very highly recommend a five pack of your favorite size to sample this terrific entry.
