Excalibur 1066 King Arthur 6"1/4 * 45

The first cigar that has ever combined the rich Honduran taste with the richness of a Cameroon wrapper. The blend is a combination of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. The character of the cigar is further enhanced by a select Broadleaf binder grown in the Connecticut River Valley. This Lonsdale earned an 87 (Very Good to Excellent) rating on Cigar Aficionado December 2007, which described it as a mild to medium smoke with a touch of sweetness.
