La Mission by L'Atelier

2020 saw La Mission by L'Atelier 1959 with its 96 rating, rank at a number 4 overall by critically acclaimed publication Cigar Aficionado. The 4.75×52 is steeped in both wine and cigar history hence its nomenclature. The year 1959 marks the end of the Cuban Revolution but it also signifies the birth of a new premium cigar industry outside of Cuba. Showcased here, Pete Johnson allows his love of wine and cigars to marry. The result is a medium to full bodied smoke with a flavor profile that is decadent in notes of chocolate, anise, roasted coffee, earth and sweet toffee. This is by way of its unique composition using a rare Sancti Spíritus hybrid varietal as binder and filler that is then sheathed in a dark and oily Mexican San Andres wrapper. The box pressed finish and fan-tail cap is the final touch on the regal and stately cigar. Shop 18 count boxes today at Santa Clara, your trusted cigar wholesaler.
