Handmade in Costa Rica, the Alfonso Gran Selección Grandiosos hails from a family legacy steeped in Cuban tobacco mastery. This blend is a testament to the art of premium cigar making, featuring a precise selection of filler comprising both Peruvian and Dominican leaves. The Peruvian binder marries beautifully with the rich flavors of the wrapper. Highlighting the key facts behind its bold character, each cigar undergoes an extended aging process of a minimum of five years in carefully curated multi-cedar rooms. This unique environment, elevated by the influence of French oak, enhances the depth and elegance of the blend, ensuring every cigar reflects an enduring commitment to perfection.
