This project began with the tobacco itself. Zimbabwe is not a place most blends start, but once we spent time with the leaf, it felt worth exploring on its own terms. The result is a cigar that is nearly a Zimbabwe puro, built from wrapper and binder through most of the filler, with just a touch of Dominican piloto to round the edges. It opens with a natural brightness, then settles into a dry, structured core of wood and earth, while a measured spice begins to gather and carry through the experience. There is a clarity to the profile that stands out, expressive without ever becoming heavy, with a finish that lingers clean and composed. It is an uncommon composition, not just for where it comes from, but for how easily it finds its balance.
