Adolphus

The Adolphus Torpedo featured this month is truly a delicious smoke that was blended for you in Esteli, Nicaragua by none other than Henry "Kiki" Berger. For those who don't know Kiki, he's the mastermind who blended Cupido and 5 Vegas cigars. Kiki is a legend in Esteli, almost as much for his massive 400lb. frame as for his cigar making skills. After less than five years in Nicaragua, Kiki is one of those unique personalities that always seem to know and be liked by everyone. Born in Cuba, he moved to the U.S. as a child and got involved in politics in Miami. It was, in fact, the president of Nicaragua that convinced Kiki to open his factory there! This Torpedo is the culmination of several fine tobaccos including a select blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers and highlighted by a dark and rich Sumatran wrapper. A spicy, yet sweet taste is ever-present in this medium to full-bodied beauty. Consider pairing it with a creamy Irish Stout.
