A DELICIOUS, FULL-BODIED “BOUTIQUE” BRAND
Crafted in the Dominican Republic by Wiber Ventura, the Gladius features a unique combination of tobaccos.
The cigar starts with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, aged over three years, from the Turrent family covering an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The filler consists of a blend of tobaccos from Ecuador (Puntiao Ligero and Corojo), Dominican Republic (Criollo’98 Ligero), and the USA (Pennsylvania Broadleaf).
The quality, construction and draw are excellent. The cigar delivers a bold punch due to the extensive use of Ligero and balances perfectly with the other tobaccos.
The rich, powerful smoke is refined and complex and combined with the hearty room note makes for an excellent experience for those looking for a full-bodied, potent cigar.
