Two Lamps Sampler — Habano
"Two if by sea."
Both lanterns lit. Full alarm raised. Two Lamps is the middle of the line and the cigar most lounge smokers will settle into. Enough body to keep up with bourbon or a long conversation, balanced enough to smoke first or last in a session. The signal got louder. The blend follows.
A Habano Ecuador wrapper over a Corojo binder, with the same Estelí/Jalapa/Condega filler core. Medium to medium-full, with the rounded sweetness Habano-Ecuador is known for and a Corojo binder that adds backbone without going hot. Built for the second cigar of the night.
