Ventura’s Project 805 is purportedly the first cigar to feature Andullo (pronounced ahn-DU-yo), a rare tobacco favored by the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean islands. According to the press release: “Tobacco leaf from the Rabito and Quin Diaz tobacco plants is harvested and piled into a series of palm seed pods called yagua. When filled, the palm seed pods are wrapped in a thick natural rope, compressing the Andullo into a dense, rigid bar. Stacked in a barn and rotated at regular intervals, the Andullo ferments in the yagua for up to 2 years.” The addition of aged Andullo to the flavorful Dominican blends makes for an extremely tasty cigar; an earthy, robust smoke ideal for the end of a long day…and the Churchill is the perfect size to best appreciate this exotic treat. Come grab a few at this week’s amazing low price!
