White Hat Plans Ilegal for 2019

White Hat Distribution newest release is Ilegal, not illegal.

The company has announced three lines, each with the same three vitolas. Spence Drake, the founder of White Hat, declined to disclose the blends outside of the wrappers, which are Ecuadorian Connecticut, Ecuadorian habano and Mexican San Andrés.

“We are thrilled to be getting these blends to market,” said Drake. “We have been putting the samples in hands for the past month and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback.”
