While STOGIES World Class Cigars is known for its lancero releases, its latest store exclusive is a lonsdale.

The Henry Clay War Hawk Lonsdale measures 6 3/4 x 42. Like the rest of the line, it uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Connecticut broadleaf binder and Honduran fillers.

STOGIES has priced the cigar at $7.75 and it is limited to just 180 boxes of 25 cigars, though the Houston-based store currently only has 80 boxes, while the other 100 boxes are expected to arrive next quarter.

Altadis U.S.A. introduced the War Hawk in 2019, the first in the company’s Immortal Trio Series, which refers to three 19th century American politicians, one of which was Henry Clay. The second release in the trilogy, the Henry Clay War Hawk Rebellious Limited Edition, was released last year.
