Cigar Aficionado #16 Cigars 2014
The Mundial
Mundial literally means the world- or worldly. Each cigar size is designat-ed with the prefix “PL”, standing for Punta Lanza (Pointed Lance), a term that one of my mentors once explained as the unique shape of a certain tobacco leaf. My goal was to create a complex cigar that mimicked that unique shape and honored my mentor. After six years of blending, I finally had “The Blend” I was proud enough to call worldly. So proud, in fact, that we not only launched the cigars to Tobacconists; to celebrate, we actually launched them into space!

"It’s kind of ironic that Alec Bradley launched these cigars into the stratosphere because figuratively that is exactly what I felt after smoking this blend–namely this is an excellent cigar."
