The famous Henry Clay company has added a real western-style stogie to their heralded portfolio. Henry Clay Rustic Cheroot, rolled just one size, is a 5 5/8 inch by 38 ring gauge vitola with the crude, somewhat unrefined appearance that is typical of this style of cigar. However, in keeping with the brand�s storied Cuban heritage, and unlike most cheroots, this one is crafted with a pigtail cap and closed foot. The Honduran filler in this cigar is made from tobacco leaves called �capa dura�, a rare and very powerful strain, so Dominican and Connecticut broadleaf tobaccos were chosen to balance a blend that is still described by the company as full bodied. This is a real heavy-hitter with deep earthy components, hints of coffee and wood, and a long, spicy finish, better suited to more experienced palates looking for a nice powerful kick from a quick smoking stick.
