This cigar is a large 7¼″ × 54 double corona size, crafted entirely in Nicaragua with a Corojo ’99 wrapper, a Corojo 2012 binder and a blend of aged Criollo and Corojo fillers. It delivers a medium-to-medium-full body, with flavour notes of toasted oak or rye bread, walnut, spice and a hint of clove, finishing with cedar and earth on the palate. The cigar is the result of a collaboration between boutique blender Illusione’s Dion Giolito and the Scandinavian Tobacco Group/General Cigar project, meant to honour the spirit of the original Excalibur No.1.
