Henry Clay War Hawk Lonsdale Lands at STOGIES World Class Cigars While STOGIES World Class Cigars is known for its lancero releases, its latest store exclusive is a lonsdale. The Henry Clay War Hawk Lonsdale measures 6 3/4 x 42. Like the rest of the line, it uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Connecticut broadleaf binder and Honduran fillers. STOGIES has priced the cigar at $7.75 and it is limited to just 180 boxes of 25 cigars, though the Houston-based store currently only has 80 boxes, while the other 100 boxes are expected to arrive next quarter. Altadis U.S.A. introduced the Wa...

Release Date: April 12, 2021 Number of Cigars Released: 5,000 Boxes of 10 (50,000 Total Cigars) Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 I have to say, the presentation is gorgeous, with the 1920’s inspired motif on the box lid opening to reveal 10 cigars, each nestled in their own individual cutout. The wrapper that adorns this cigar is a milk chocolate brown color and feels quite a bit like parchment, with very little tooth or oil present. Both the fantail cap and covered foot are well presented and the cigars are nicely firm when squeezed. The aroma from the wrapper includes notes of sweet...

Release Date: April 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 I’m not sure if it’s just my slow normalization to larger ring gauge cigars or if it’s the use of two wrappers, but this cigar is deceivingly large. Once out of cellophane, the Banner / The Hulk seems a lot thicker than it did previously. The candela used here is a deeper shade of green compared to some other candelas, and it contrasts the brown wrapper rather well, something that is no doubt helped by the reds that the darker wrapper has. As I smell the two wrappers, I don’t pick up many of the classic signs of candela, b...

Release Date: February 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The CAO Arcana Mortal Coil has a couple of layers of shine happening; the copper on the band does a good job catching the eye, but the wrapper leaf has an impressive amount of oiliness to it that does that job as well. It’s an interesting combination of colors between the dark, meaty brown of the wrapper and then the black and copper of the band, one that seems to play better when the wrapper leaf is on the darker side of the scale. There’s a ton of tooth and a couple of small veins to the leaf, the former a bit more impre...

Release Date: Dec. 2020 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 From arm’s length away, the Sky Flower Lancero looks to have a pretty even color, though closer inspection reveals a bit more variation and that the veins, while small, are notably darker. There’s also an impressive network of them, the smaller ones appearing when more closely examined. There’s just a bit of sponginess to the cigar, enough to be noticeable and mildly concerning as the cigar is not what I would call firmly rolled, at least by current standards. That said, it is pretty flawless visually, as the seams are flat ...
