This is the Gordo of the Pledge line, awarded for its Robusto which was chosen best cigar of the year by Cigar Aficionado in 2021. This Apogée was voted 11th best cigar of the year in 2022.
It is composed of a U.S. Habano Connecticut wrapper, which offers a unique twist to the richness of flavors with dark, woody oak notes combined with sweet notes of licorice, baked apple and cocoa. An Ecuadorian wrapper and Nicaraguan filler, giving it intense flavors of dark chocolate, molasses and a hint of pepper.
