If you've tasted our family's famed Old Rip Van Winkle bourbons, you know that we wouldn't put our names on anything but the best. Our Tradition collection, which includes a trio of hand-rolled vitolas, reflects the Van Winkle family’s enduring commitment to excellence. The result of a fruitful collaboration between the talented team at Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, and Pappy & Company, this unique blend was personally chosen by our father Julian Van Winkle. The combination of an oily Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, an Indonesian binder, and a blend of aged Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers makes for a fragrant, full-bodied smoke with top notes of chocolate, earth, and leather. Undertones of raw cocoa, cashews, and sweet tobacco create balance and complexity . Longer and more robust than both the Toro and Robusto vitolas, Churchill cigars—seven-inches with a ring gauge of forty eight—are as bold as the statesman they were named after. The British Prime Minister famously smoked as many as ten of these beauties a day; not a practice we’d suggest you emulate however much you might be tempted.
