Casdagli Basilica C #1 is a medium to full-bodied Toro that pays tribute to Emmanuel Casdagli, the patriarch who founded the family’s Egyptian cotton empire — the name “Basilica” evoking the ancient Greek term for “Royal House,” referencing the grandeur of Villa Casdagli. Blended by Hendrik Kelner Jr. at the Kelner Boutique Factory in the Dominican Republic, this 6×52 cigar features a lustrous Brazilian Cubra wrapper over dual binders from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, with a complex filler blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian tobaccos. Its unique construction — with the filler extending beyond the binders — creates a mellow introduction that builds into a beautifully balanced and complex smoke. Expect vibrant citrus notes throughout, complemented by nutty sweetness, earth, rich dark chocolate, and cocoa, with a subtle tobacco undertone. The flared foot enhances the transition into full-bodied richness, making this a truly memorable smoking experience.
