Description

Orthodox was BLTC's surprise 2024 release — a Mexican San Andrés-wrapped corona gorda that clocks in at medium-minus strength, the lightest cigar James Brown has ever produced. The San Andrés wrapper's natural sweetness dominates: cola syrup, dark cherries, raisins, and cedar with gentle Nicaraguan earth. Ranked #5 Cigar of the Year 2024 by Cigar Dojo. Limited to 900 boxes. This is the gateway BLTC for smokers who find Last Rites too intense.
