A yearly release offered in exceptionally limited quantities, I knew I needed to act quickly to get this year’s Powstanie Wojtek War Bear cigars for my humidor. For 2023, Wojtek War Bear is presented as a 5.5x46 Corona Gordo Box Pressed vitola and limited to just 500 boxes of 21 to ensure each cigar is made with top-shelf quality. Wojtek War Bear cigars get their name from the famous Syrian brown bear enlisted by the Polish army during World War II named Wojtek, who became a bit of a celebrity following the war. The blend features a core of Dominican Criollo and Nicaraguan long fillers that have been aged to perfection and deftly packed into a rich Indonesian binder. Along with a top-quality Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, there is a stripe of darker Mexican San Andres leaf winding around the length of the cigars, giving them a unique barber-pole look. The resulting smoke is incredibly rich and complex, delivering a medium-full bodied tapestry of pepper, leather, sweet spices, cedar, and coffee with hints of chocolate and tobacco sweetness from the San Andres wrapper. Coupled with the immaculate construction by the skilled hands at Fabrica de Tabacos NicaSueno, these limited-edition gems are one of the favorites in humidor. Get yourself a box of 21 Powstanie Wojtek War Bear cigars before they end up in another aficionado’s collection by placing your online order with Cigars.com today.
