Henry Clay War Hawk – A bold tribute to a historical figure
The Henry Clay War Hawk cigar line pays tribute to American statesman Henry Clay, famous in the early 19th century as the leading representative of the War Hawks and a decisive player in the outbreak of the War of 1812. With this series, the brand deliberately breaks with its tradition by opting not for the classic Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, but for a luxurious Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. This wraps around a Broadleaf binder and a refined blend of carefully aged Honduran long-filler tobaccos.
A subtle and balanced aromatic structure
The result is a medium-strength, perfectly balanced smoking experience, offering delicate aromas of toasted almonds, nutmeg, earth, cocoa, and citrus. The whole is underscored by a discreet sweetness and a slightly peppery finish. The vitola's impeccable construction ensures a steady burn and a smooth draw, for a most enjoyable smoking pleasure.
