Rated 93 by Cigar Aficionado and ranked in their Top 25 of 2020, the Highclere Castle Victorian Robusto is a remarkably refined and exceptionally balanced cigar. Created by Nick Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company in collaboration with the historic Highclere Castle estate, this blend pays tribute to the elegance and sophistication of 19th century cigar making.

The Victorian features an exquisite upper-priming Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, rich with natural oils and boasting a flawless rosado colorado hue. Beneath this lies a rare, meticulously selected Brazilian Mata Fina binder, paired with a superb filler blend of Corojo and Criollo tobaccos from Esteli, Jalapa and Ometepe.

Together, these tobaccos create a harmonious, complex flavour profile that many strive for but few truly achieve.

Despite its mild to medium strength, the Victorian Robusto is full in flavour with exceptional progression:
