It measures 5 1/2 x 42 and uses a Dominican corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic (75 percent) and Nicaragua (25 percent). It is rolled at El Titan de Bronze, the same factory responsible for the company’s El Oso and La Colmena.

“Growing up he taught me about cigars and the lifestyle that accompanied them,” said Gellis in a statement to the press. “From construction issues, flavor profiles, proper way to cut and light, to the art itself, my passion would not have been ignited if it wasn’t for him. I wanted to thank and honor him for all the support he has given me and blend a cigar that combined the flavor profiles he loved.”
