El Vinyet Cuvee Especial 2023

Abe Flores bunched the first 10,000 El Vinyet Cuvee Especial 2023 cigars himself at his PDR factory in the Dominican Republic, then passed them to his top rollers for dark, lustrous Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrappers. Each morning during production, Flores hand-picked the Indonesian binder and the Dominican Habano and Pennsylvania Broadleaf fillers that complete the multi-nation blend. The 2023 release arrived a year late, but the reward comes quick: smooth, spicy, full-bodied smoke with woody-nutty depth that keeps building. Presented in boxes of 10 and dressed in gold foil sleeves, production was limited to only 200 boxes of each size for 2023, with more promised annually. If a full-flavored, expertly hand-crafted cigar belongs in your rotation, grab a box while this run lasts.
