Description

The Highclere Castle Cigar is available in two varieties, Edwardian & Victorian, both featuring a binder made from Mata Fina, a dark tobacco from Brazil, and Nicaraguan filler.

The Highclere Castle Edwardian is hand rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua, using a Connecticut Shade wrapper, and both Criollo and Corojo from the volcanic soils of Jalapa and the island of Ometepe. The blend is finalized with an exclusive hybrid seed the company has named Nicadán. The resulting smoke is exceptionally smooth and elegant, with notes of pepper, citrus, leather, and fireplace.

  • Wrapper: Connecticut Shade
  • Binder: Brazilian Mata Fina
  • Filler: Nicaragua (Jalapa & Ometepe)

The Highclere Castle Victorian is wrapped in Habano Ecuador, harkening back to the very first cigars to be imported into England in the Victorian era. The flavor profile of the cigar was created as a tribute to the style of cigars most popular during Victorian times, when smoking rooms became the fashion in grand country homes and castles. The new Victorian is a full-bodied cigar delivering notes of nougat, cedar, cinnamon, and leather.

  • Wrapper: Ecuador (Habano)
  • Binder: Brazilian Mata Fina
  • Filler: Nicaragua
