Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 2015 “Especiales” different from the original Edición Especial 2015?
This anniversary release features a soft box-press shape, updated packaging, and a limited 10-count presentation—while keeping the beloved San Andrés/Nicaraguan blend intact.
How limited is this cigar?
Only 1,000 numbered boxes were produced, making it highly collectible.
Is the strength overwhelming?
No. It sits in the medium-full range—rich and flavorful without excessive nicotine bite.
Does the box-press change the burn?
The soft press encourages a slower, cooler burn and can concentrate flavors for added depth.
What beverages pair best?
Try espresso, rye whiskey, or a robust porter to complement the cigar’s cocoa and spice profile.
Should I age these cigars?
They’re ready to enjoy now, but 6–12 months of humidor time can further integrate the cocoa-and-spice notes.
Are long-filler tobaccos used?
Yes—premium, full-length Nicaraguan leaves ensure an even, consistent burn.
How should I store the cigars?
Maintain 65–69 % RH at 68–70 °F to preserve the wrapper’s natural oils and complexity.
