Stulac Anejo Broadleaf drops Black Friday Sale on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23rd 9pm pst/12am est.

Aging a cigar can be an interesting process and sometimes a gamble. While certain cigars benefit from being laid down for a while, others seem to mellow to the point of being flavorless. However, it has done wonders for the Paul Stulac Connecticut Broadleaf he created back in 2022. Originally he blended this cigar exclusively for the OGT Cigar Society. Known as the OGT x Stulac Project, Paul and I worked on this cigar for some time before releasing it. Initially Paul isn’t one who blends exclusives for many people, so I was thrilled to hear he would like to work with us. Based on his work with Broadleaf in his El Nuevo Comienzo and Red Screaming sun, I hoped he could do something with Connecticut Broadleaf. As I have said before, broadleaf is not easiest tobacco to get a hold of, but he assured me he had a ‘small batch’ stashed away that would be perfect for the project.

The blend turned out strong and full flavored. Constructed of a dark, Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over Criollo 98 binder, and fillers from Nicaragua, this cigar is a 6×46 (although it almost appears to be a 48 to me) parejo. One of the common responses to this cigar in December of 2022 was that it’ was ‘s intense, heavy, and perhaps too strong. One year of age has transformed this cigar. Perhaps matured it is the right word. At light up there is a twinge of black pepper corn, with earth and tones of sweetness. Something I like about broadleaf is the creaminess you get to in the second third. With a year on this cigar, I can taste it. Notes of light spice follow as it burns with nutmeg, stone fruits, toasted cashews, creaminess, and light sweetness. The aging took this cigar from a full strength to a medium plus and a smooth finish.

Just like the flavors have changed, the name has also. The OGT x Stulac Project has had a label added and is the Stulac Anejo Broadleaf Aged 1 year. I hope you enjoy this cigar as much as I do. It has been a highlight of the year. I have been going through them each month and I think this month it has reached a real ‘high’. The Stulac Anejo Broadleaf will be available for our Black Friday Sale on Thanksgiving 9pm pst/12am est. Don’t miss this cigar! While we were able to hold some aside, they are not being produced anymore! Get it while it is here!
