Description

The name of this unique line of cigars Cypher 3311 as well as the names given to the vitolas – Enigma, Colossus, Needle and Lorenz, refer to the secret war conducted during WW2. “3311” was Jeremy’s Grandfather’s POW number. The “Coat of Arms” used as this line’s primary image replicates one of his Grandfather’s wartime embroideries.

The blends chosen as well as the imagery on the packaging contain hidden messages that can be discovered by the smoker. The exotic tobaccos of the Cypher 3311 vitolas are rare and expensive thus creating a truly unique blend that requires aging once the cigar is made. Each cigar will indicate clearly its year of production on its box. There will only be a maximum of 4,000 of each of the 4 cigars made annually.

Lorenz was the most top secret cypher machine used by the German Army in WW2 and was declassified only in 2002. The deciphered Lorenz messages made one of the most significant contributions to the British military intelligence and to Allied victory in Europe, due to the high-level strategic nature of the information that was gained from Lorenz decrypts.
The exotic and difficult to obtain binder and filler tobaccos of our Lorenz remain to be encyphered. Here’s a little hint: the selected filler and binder tobaccos originate from Costa Rica and their aim is to deliver a very cubanesque characteristic.The Colorado wrapper leaf also delivers dark chocolate notes to accompany the honey and almond aromas added by the filler leaves. The long slender Diademas format also ensures some subtle changes during the long elegant smoke.

A percentage of every cigar sale will be donated to the Red Cross whose relentless work continues to alleviate human suffering across the world.

“I have always wanted to honor my grandfather’s artistic legacy, as well as, his service during WWII. Not only did my grandfather conduct a brave protest against the Nazis with his cypher messages hidden within his artwork created with the war prisoner camps, but that he was also a member of MI9 which included the planning of POW escapes.” – Jeremy Casdagli
