Description

Named for Emmanuel Casdagli, the Basilica A is the flagship of the Basilica line — a cigar designed for pairing with oriental teas and delicate cuisine. The extraordinary 11-year aged Bonao binder is the hero: slow-aging transforms what would be a punchy leaf into something nuanced and complex. Vanilla, cream, and dark chocolate dominate with an elegant oak quality through the finish. Rated up to 96 pts. Features the signature Basilica flared foot.
