Our Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented cigar is a long-filler, premium cigar rolled in limited quantities at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua. Deep barrel fermentation is the process that makes this cigar vastly different from anything on the market. Hand selected tobacco leaves, from Kentucky, are packed into small torquettes (or bundles of tobacco), which are then loaded into Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels. Water is then added, while immense pressure is applied to the torquettes via railroad jacks. The tobacco is removed 2-3 times per year, shaken out, then repacked. The total process of fermentation takes 12-18 months, leaving a truly unique flavor profile and aroma that contributes to its hickory, charcoal and overall earthier flavor.
Our Pappy Van Winkle Tradition features an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, Indonesian Binder and aged fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. This is considered avery traditional "el habano" cigar, using Cuban seed, a handpicked blend and the traditional Cuban “entubado” rolling style. This cigar is meant to honor our family’s bourbon legacy and the classic cigar making process.
