Brothers of the Sabre Epicurist is a new mix created to pay tribute to Gen. Antoine Charles Louis de Lasalle of France, one of Napoleon’s most fearless and brilliant light cavalry commanders who was often seen smoking a pipe. The new cigar was blended by Hendrik Kelner Jr. and is made up of a Claro Colorado Ecuadorian wrapper covering a Dominican binder grown in Yamasá and Dominican filler tobaccos. Interestingly, the robusto version features filler leaves primed from higher up on the plant for a bolder smoking experience, whereas the figurado receives milder leaves from the center of the stalk.

Tasting Notes – Cedar, Oak, Toast, Cashew Nuts, and Cream
