Don Diego Aniversario Series Lord Rothschild

You’ve got a real classic in your hands here—a solid brand that your own grandfather just might have smoked in his youth. With over 40 years as a top-notch brand, the Don Diego series clearly has some staying power, which is something worth celebrating. Indeed, in 2003, the Aniversario Series blend was released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the brand. Meticulously handmade in La Romana, Dominican Republic, under the constant supervision of cigar master Jose Seijas, the Don Diego Aniversario combines a smooth Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrapper with a rich, tri-nation blend of extensively aged Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian long fillers. Rated ‘91’ by Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar Insider, the Aniversario reinvents the creamy smoothness this classic brand has long been known for. Look for occasional spikes of medium-bodied tobacco flavor, supplied mainly by the Nicaraguan elements in the blend. A versatile cigar, you could easily pair this with a mild, coconut-rum flavored cocktail or a very lightly chilled cream stout.
