When Altadis U.S.A. introduced the Henry Clay War Hawk last year the company made it clear that this was the first in what was supposed to be three releases. Next month, the second one will ship to stores.

The Henry Clay War Hawk Rebellious Limited Edition is a 6 x 54 toro that uses a habano-seed wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. While the first release was produced at the Flor de Copan factory in Honduras, the Rebellious is being made by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua.

It is priced at $9.60 and limited to 1,200 boxes of 20 cigars which are expected to begin shipping July 15.

“With the War Hawk Rebellious Limited Edition, we are offering adult consumers a complex, medium-bodied, Nicaraguan blend that complements the original War Hawk and provides smokers with a unique Nicaraguan experience,” said Rafael Nodal, head of product capability for Tabacalera USA, in a press release.
