The Excalibur Maduro features a medium body with tasting notes of leather, earth, hazelnut, and molasses, wrapped in a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro with a Connecticut Shade binder and Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. This maduro wrapper cigar combines two leaves of dark Connecticut broadleaf around a bold filler blend, delivering a leathery, earthy cigar with plenty of sweet cocoa and coffee flavor. Crafted with precision and wrapped in a decadent Maduro broadleaf, Excalibur Maduro is the perfect follow-up to the classic Excalibur. The Excalibur line debuted as the fuller-bodied blend of Hoyo de Monterrey, with the top 10% of the tobacco crops grown in Nicaragua and Honduras reserved for the Excalibur line. General Cigar Co. makes the cigars in its Villazon unit in Honduras, which is also home to the Punch brand. While production has moved from Cuba, the traditional cultivation and natural fermentation process originally utilized by Hoyo de Monterrey has not changed. In addition to a sterling '92' point rating, Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur is a member of Cigar Aficionado's top 25 cigars of the year. Drink pairings include port, espresso, and porter. These cigars have a very classic and traditional Cuban allure.
