J. London Ships Mr. London

J. London Cigars’ newest limited edition, Mr. London, is on its way to stores.

It’s a 5 1/2 x 54 vitola that company owner Jonathan Fiant calls a “super robusto,” with a blend that uses a corojo 99 wrapper of undisclosed origin, a Mexican San Andrés binder, and a filler that includes criollo 98, habano 92, habano 2000, HVA and piloto cubano tobaccos, though where that tobacco comes from has not been disclosed. The blend was developed by Fiant and Eladio Díaz, who produced the cigars at his factory, Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera, in the Dominican Republic. Fiant noted that the cigars have been aged for a year after they were rolled.

Pricing is set at $18.95 per cigar and $189.50 for a box of 10 cigars. Production is limited to 400 boxes.

“This cigar is the introduction to Mr. London,” Fiant said. “Mr. London is a character I will use in different limited edition releases. Years ago, a friend of mine created the character for me, and I was honored. I told him I would someday use that character in a series of cigars that felt fitting.”

Fiant described Mr. London as a once-a-year release.
