Stallone Cigars Silver Blaze Connecticut Broadleaf.

Perhaps the most prestigious Broadleaf made for the OGT Cigar Society is the Stallone Cigars Silver Blaze. Originally rolled over a year ago, this is the first Nicaraguan Cigar that I have heard of that boasts a Medio Tiempo Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. What is Medio Tiempo? It is the two top leaves that, on rare occasion, appear at the top of the plant, even higher than Ligero primings. They are described as being small in appearance and having an ‘alligator skin’ texture to them. But they don’t always grow on the plant, so harvesting them is something that is very difficult. While Medio Tiempo has its challenges, it also has a wondrous, rich flavor to it. I already love Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco, and Medio Tiempo grade definitely raises the bar. Put that into the hands of Tony Barrios of Stallone Cigars, give it over a year of age, and you have the flavor forward, incredibly balanced Stallone Silver Blaze; an exclusive made just for OGT Cigars.

Where does the name come from? The idead was given to me by a friend of mine. He suggested we name it after the Sherlock Holmes short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Silver Blaze . It is also a nod to Tony’s history of breaking horses. Last year Tony and I had been talking about doing something special for the members of OGT Cigar Society. “I spent a lot in the 100% premium aged tobacco in this blend.” Barrios said. “The blend breakdown is:
Wrapper: US Connecticut Broadleaf Ligero
Binder: Double Binder (Esteli & Jalapa)
Filler: Esteli, Jalapa & Jalapa. Inside is Criollo 98, Corojo 99 , Corojo 2012 and Habano 2000 Seeds . All from Nicaragua aged 5 years before rolling. 5 months aging after rolled.”

This cigar offers an unparalleled experience of full flavor, full-bodied, and only medium in strength. A perfect balance and a complexity that coats the palate. As far as flavor notes go, there is a swarm of cocoa up front, roasted nuts, touches of leather, light spice, and a consistent creamy center with hints of sweetness. This cigar, I feel, is approachable by anyone, not overwhelming a new smoker but also satisfying one who leans toward stronger cigars. I am so proud to offer everyone such an expertly crafted cigar this month, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. Here at OGT Cigar Society, we are not playing around. By no stretch of the imagination, this cigar would retail at that $15 mark. It’s smoking experience is incredible. Unfortunately, this was produced in a small batch format, and they are almost ALL GONE! If you haven’t tried it yet, pick up yours now, because they aren’t coming back!
