Casdagli Basilica C #1
The Basilica C #1 tops the Casdagli lineup with one of the most complex, flavor-packed toro formats ever produced at the Kelner Boutique Factory. Blended by Hendrik Kelner Jr., whose family legacy represents the gold standard in Dominican cigar production, this cigar features the Brazilian Cubra wrapper’s rare depth of spice and sweetness. Expert hand bunching preserves consistent draw, while Casdagli’s innovative double binder—combining Dominican and Nicaraguan leaves—ensures a nuanced transition across nutty, citrus, and dark chocolate layers. Every detail, from the cedar piano-top box to 69% Boveda humidification, reflects the brand’s obsession with freshness and presentation.
- Brazilian Cubra wrapper delivers refined sophistication and signature richness
- Double binder system: Dominican and Nicaraguan binders add lively citrus and complex backbone
- Filler blend combines Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian tobaccos for cocoa, earth, and dark chocolate
- Toro format (6 x 52) with expertly hand-rolled, consistently optimal draw
- Layered flavor profile transitions from nutty sweet citrus to rich dark chocolate, coffee, and maple spice
- Premium packing: cedar piano-top box, cellophaned cigars, 69% RH Boveda included
- Meticulous construction and quality checks for every stick
The Basilica C #1 opens with a mellow, approachable introduction from its distinctive filler extension, swiftly evolving into sweet citrus, nuts, and creamy chocolate tones. Kelner’s blending artistry ensures balance even as the profile moves into roasted coffee, earth, maple, and mocha. Connoisseurs reward this cigar for its equilibrium, where spice and cream intertwine with persistent chocolate throughout the journey. Hand-rolled at the Kelner Boutique Factory, it is a benchmark for boutique Dominican artistry, marrying elegance with dynamism in every puff.

WTF was that??? Amazing stick, smoked one I had resting for a few months (not this actual stick) and can’t wait to partake in the C3! I hate smoking Casdagli because I find myself comparing all my sessions to them. My problem! Enjoy

The basilica c is a must try in the casdagli line up. Tastes absolutely perfect. A little sweet, some coffee and earthiness, absolutely great. Medium+ body

Another winner from Casdagli. Great complexity and balance with nuttiness and perhaps a bit of coffee undertone. Also some sweetness (although less than the Basilica A in my opinion). I recommend giving this one a try if you haven’t done so already.

This cigar maintains citrus notes throughout the experience, while nutty and sweet dark chocolate flavors develop as you smoke. It is beautifully balanced with a complex blend. This is box worthy. I find the Casdagli Basilica A better in flavors though.

This Casdagli Basilica C #1 is no joke. It’s like a mocha explosion with a spicy kick. Starts off strong, then mellows out to a sweet, syrupy finish. Not your typical cigar, but definitely interesting if you like things bold and flavorful.

Absolute banger of a cigar! Basilica C in #3 is fire but this one is just as good. Coffee, cinnamon, and sweetness will have you puffing a little too often on this one. Take your time and enjoy!

Dark roasted coffee, dark chocolate and some maple sweetness. Incredible and if you are looking for a full bodied cigar without being over the top in strength this is it. Wonderful.
