S.T. Dupont Double Corona

Taste isn't the only sense involved in appreciating a good cigar. The latte-colored S.T. Dupont is lovely to look at and exquisitely smooth to the touch. For decades this brand was rolled in Spain, using a lush blend of premium aged Dominican long-fillers and flawless Connecticut-seed wrappers. These top-notch quality tobaccos combined with superior blending produced a heavily sought after cigar. Production moved to the Dominican Republic and the quality has never been quite the same. We've been lucky enough to uncover a supply of S.T. Dupont cigars that were rolled in Spain, long before the change in venue. Mild to begin with, these babies have at least 4-5 years of box-aging under their belts. The additional aging has made them even milder so they offer a barely medium-bodied smoke that's smooth, rich and creamy. You'll note the dominant flavor is cedar, the result of spending so much time in the box. Our International Wine Club members have the perfect complement for the Dupont this month: the Trinchero Vista Montone Napa Chardonnay. Not a member? Pair it with your favorite slightly oaky chardonnay.
