Introducing a slight deviation from the renowned series, the War Hawks display a notable change by swapping out the familiar Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper for a blonde Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. However, fear not, for the beloved Broadleaf still has a role to play in the blend, now serving as the binder. Complementing this combination is a core of long-filler Honduran tobaccos, imparting a delightful sweetness and spiciness. Surprisingly, the smoking experience leans towards the medium-bodied side, resulting in a dense and creamy smoke that brims with perfectly balanced toastiness. Within this enchanting smoke, flavors of earth, oak, sweet spice, and a captivating herbal note emerge. These qualities garnered the cigar the well-deserved honor of being ranked as the #10 Cigar of the Year in 2020. Both seasoned cigar enthusiasts seeking a medium to medium-plus smoke with a complex, full-flavored profile and novice smokers will find the War Hawk a delightful surprise. Its rich flavor and velvety smooth character make this Henry Clay cigar an enjoyable introduction to this iconic brand.
