Description

The Villa Casdagli Lonsdale epitomises Costa Rican cigar sophistication, meticulously handcrafted at Tabacos de Costa Rica by master torcedores. Measuring precisely 7 inches in length by a slender 42 ring gauge, this medium-to-full-bodied Lonsdale vitola showcases an elegant Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper—richly textured and subtly oily—over a matching binder and a masterful filler blend of Peruvian, Dominican, and Ecuadorian long-fillers, with Peruvian leaves undergoing extra pilon fermentation for extraordinary depth, presented in refined boxes of 12. Ignition unveils an impeccable draw and laser-sharp burn across its expansive 60–75-minute journey. The first third charms with aromatic baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg—and velvety vanilla, laced with polished cedar and vibrant oak. Midway, golden honey emerges alongside dark walnut wood, roasted chestnuts, and ginger zing, yielding creamy tobacco nectar with earthy cacao whispers. The slender finale elevates with dried figs, brown sugar sweetness, and lively spice through medium-voluminous, fragrant smoke crowned by a steadfast silvery ash cone. This timeless gem demands humidor storage at 65–70% humidity. Ideal for contemplative evenings with tawny port, peaty single malt, or artisanal espresso, it masterfully balances puissance and nuance for discerning connoisseurs. A pinnacle of Casdagli artistry, the Lonsdale unfolds mesmerising layers of complexity with every measured draw.
