Custodian series
The Custodian series honours Lieutenant-General Sir Hudson Lowe, the British officer who became one of the most intriguing figures connected to Napoleon's final years. Knighted by King George III and recognised by both Czar Alexander I of Russia and Field Marshal von Blücher of Prussia, Lowe represents Great Britain and the Coalition within the Brothers of the Sabre Line.
His connection to cigar history came later, when he was appointed Governor of St Helena and entrusted with the custody of the exiled Napoleon. As Napoleon's Custodian, Lowe was also responsible for providing cigars to the former Emperor during his years on the island.
Cigar description
Blended for Casdagli Cigars by Hendrik Kelner Jr. at the Kelner Boutique Factory, the Custodian blend combines rare Zimbabwean tobacco with fillers from the USA and the Dominican Republic. The result is a cigar of deceptive strength, delivering rich notes of molasses and espresso to the palate.
The traditional Piramide vitola, with its distinctive conical shape tapering from a 49 ring gauge to a fine point at the head, intensifies both the body and flavour of the blend. To maintain balance and ensure a smooth smoking experience, some of the filler tobaccos are selected from slightly lower primings.
An Ecuadorian wrapper and Dominican binder complete this distinctive and complex blend.
