HDA Sentinel Limited Edition

Factory: Rojas Cigar Factory, Estelí, Nicaragua

Tasting notes: Sweet, chocolatey, subtle spice

Released by veteran-owned Hermanos de Armas to honor America's 250th anniversary, Sentinel is a limited edition that steps well outside HDA's core lineup. The blend was developed in partnership with Lee Marsh of Stolen Throne Cigars and rolled at Noel Rojas's factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the first HDA cigar ever produced outside its longtime home at Fabrica Oveja Negra.

A dark, oily Mexican San Andrés wrapper sits over a Nicaraguan binder and filler, delivering a profile that leans rich and decadent: deep chocolate sweetness up front with a lingering thread of spice pulled straight from the wrapper. It smokes like a dessert with an edge, balanced enough for a slow evening and bold enough to stand on its own.

Rolled in a single 6 x 50 toro and capped at just 600 boxes worldwide, Sentinel is a true one-and-done. When it's gone, it's gone.
