Casdagli Traditional 25th Aniversario Double Corona Cigar – Single

The Casdagli Traditional 25th Aniversario Double Corona measures 7 1/2 inches in length with a 52-ring gauge. Handmade at the Kelner Boutique factory in the Dominican Republic, it features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with visible oil content. The binder is Dominican, while the filler combines leaves from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Peru, and the United States.

Blend Composition and Construction

This five-nation blend uses a dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper paired with Dominican binder tobacco. Fillers include:

• Dominican Republic Seco and Ligero
• Nicaraguan Visus and Criollo 98
• Pennsylvania Broadleaf
• Peruvian Hybrid 46

The cold draw demonstrates open airflow, with a firm ash holding for 1.5-2 inches during combustion.

Flavor Progression

The Casdagli Traditional 25th Aniversario Double Corona transitions through three phases:

• Initial third: Cedar and white pepper with 5-10% sweetness intensity
• Middle third: Cocoa powder and roasted coffee notes emerging at 45-minute mark
• Final third: Earth tones and nutmeg developing after 90 minutes of smoking

Retrohale presents black pepper intensity decreasing from 8/10 to 4/10 across the smoking duration.

Legacy and Craftsmanship

Released as a limited edition to commemorate 25 years of production, this Casdagli cigar replicates the original Cuban-made blend from 1999. The 110-minute average burn time reflects the dense filler packing technique developed by Hendrik Kelner Jr. Box codes indicate rollers used specialized entubado bunching methods for optimal combustion.
