An Ongoing Limited Production and a Different Approach to Blending.
Aviators are reblended with every small production for three key reasons:
When we say rare tobacco, we mean it. The youngest leaf in any Aviator vitola is five years old. We seek out small lots of aged and exceptional tobaccos that will not be available forever, materials so rare they normally wouldn’t be used. In many cases we continue processing them in-house for years before they are ready for an Aviator blend.
RARE TOBACCO
Great tobacco is often vibrant tobacco, leaves with an opinion to express. An Aviator blend balances five to seven tobaccos in delicate harmony. If one component has an especially strong growing season, for example, it can begin to dominate the others and the experience loses complexity. Situations like this, and many others, require adjustment.
NATURE’S INFLUENCE
Experiences smoking the same cigar already differ. What has touched your palate, the weather, your mood and countless factors influence what you taste. Why should we mute your experience with something less flavorful simply in the name of a “consistency” that will rarely be felt anyway? We always err on the side of making a better cigar over a more consistent one.

These represents the most limited and purpose-driven expressions within the Aviator Series. From the charitable Angel of Mercy to the ‘limited by nature’ Night Flight, these exist outside the standard line. They are defined by intention, scarcity, and a distinct sense of occasion.
