Description

Nutty and creamy with a smooth, mellow character, the Gurkha American Volition Connecticut delivers a light and pleasant smoking experience without skipping on taste. Using the same Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers as the other cigars in the line, trying all three would highlight how much a wrapper can influence a blends profile. Presented in 13-count boxes that honor the 13 folds of the American flag, each purchase contributes 13% of proceeds to the Folds of Honor Foundation, supporting the families of fallen and disabled military members and first responders.

• Cigar WrapperEcuadorian Connecticut ShadeThe wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
• Cigar BinderNicaraguaThe binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
