Highclere Castle Victorian – History, Heritage & Craftsmanship

The Highclere Castle Victorian cigar is a remarkable blend of tradition, artistry, and authenticity, inspired by the cigar-smoking rituals of Highclere Castle in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Once enjoyed by aristocrats, royalty, and cultural icons, this cigar faithfully recreates that timeless experience.

This prestigious project unites three iconic figures in the cigar world: George Herbert, 8th Earl of Carnarvon, Nicholas Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company, and A.J. Fernandez, the master of Nicaraguan tobacco. Their combined expertise ensures a cigar of unparalleled quality and sophistication.

The Victorian features a Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and fillers including Criollo and Corojo tobaccos from Jalapa and Ometepe, along with a rare Nicadan hybrid seed. Each leaf is aged for at least three years, producing a refined medium-bodied profile with exquisite balance, depth, and elegance.

Paying homage to the Victorian era of refinement and innovation, this cigar evokes the grandeur of Highclere Castle itself. Every draw reflects heritage and craftsmanship, offering today’s aficionados a truly unique and distinguished smoking experience.

The Highclere Castle Victorian is more than a cigar—it is a living tribute to history, heritage, and the artistry of fine tobacco.
