Tatuaje's The Old Man and the C series continues with the Fausto The Old Man and the C. This unique project began in 2012, as a tribute to Hemingway's similarly titled novel and offering cigar enthusiasts a fresh take on familiar Tatuaje blends. Prior releases focused on the Tatuaje Black Label and the El Triunfador, where limited-edition coffins contain the blend at hand in both a lancero and culebra format (i.e. four cigars per coffin). The culebra in the coffin is the same blend as the lancero, but contains 3 cigars twisted together.

This involves putting tobacco leaves in palm seed pods. The pods are then wrapped in rope, causing the Andullo tobacco to compress into a thick bar almost looking like a roll of salami. Once it has hardened, it typically is carved off. Andullo tobacco is a tobacco that is used for several blends at the La Aurora Cigar factory."

Her maiden name is Land so combining led to Buckeye Land. 6x48 Wrapper - Mexican San Andres Binder - Connecticut Broadleaf Filler - Pennsylvania Broadleaf & Nicaragua

Best as I can tell this blend composition: Wrapper - Mexican San Andres Binder - Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Filler - Nicaragua Toro 6x52

Project 40 is based on the concept that 50% percent of your happiness comes from genetics, 10% is based on circumstance, and the remaining 40% all depends on your outlook and mindset. The goal is to find how a product can have a positive impact on your mind and body, and improve your happiness and comfort overall. With cigars being a relaxing activity that brings people together which helps create a sense of comfort and mental well-being, it was only natural that Alan Rubin (founder) of Alec Bradley would apply this concept to cigars! The cigar was released in 2019 and earned a 93 point rating. Robusto - 5x50 Wrapper - Nicaragua Binder - Brazil Habano Filler - Nicaragua

Kentucky Fire-Cured leaves are American fire-cured tobacco leaves from Kentucky and Virginia in a process dating back 200 years. While normally tobacco is air-cured, these leaves are left to hang in specially-constructed curing barns that imbues each leaf with a rich, smoky, slightly sweet flavor. Then the fire cured leaves are joined by Nicaraguan and Brazilian Mata Fina long-fillers along with an oily, somewhat rustic looking, San Andres maduro wrapper.
