It’s time to revisit a popular old classic, the Henry Clay. A humidor staple for many decades, this no-frills stick features a rustic-looking, dark, and oily, Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and, aged binder and filler from the Dominican Republic. Not the prettiest smoke I’ve ever seen, but the great taste and affordable price make up for its modest look. A musky aroma accompanies deep flavors of spice, earth, pepper, and cedar that build with intensity right down to the bottom third. Ending on a soft, creamy note, Henry Clay has all the qualities you’ve come to expect from a great-tasting Maduro cigar.
