Cordoba & Morales 401 Conejos (6 x 50) Cigar

Cordoba & Morales is a Dominican boutique house from cigar-maker Domingo Cordoba, producing both aromatic flavored cigarillos and premium hand-rolled cigars in the Dominican Republic.

An aged Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, in the 6 1/8 x 52 format. Each cigar is presented in its own paper tube and packed into 10-count boxes. Production was capped at 500 boxes, making it one of the scarcest releases in the Cordoba & Morales portfolio.

Opens dark and rich with black pepper and anise leading, then builds complexity with oak, star anise, espresso, and raisin as it burns down. Dark chocolate and a soft natural sweetness tie the profile together.

Alcoholic: a bourbon, an aged rum, or a porter. Non-Alcoholic: a medium-roast coffee.

Not a cigar to rush — set aside unhurried time and savor it slowly, as befits the milestone it celebrates.
