The Great Wall (GJ1972) bursts onto the stage—a premium handcrafted cigar immortalizing the historic Sino-American diplomatic ice-break! Its pioneering bell-head cap (China’s first-ever design) marries elegance with symbolism, embodying peace and friendship in a vitola as striking as its legacy. Blended with prime tobaccos from China, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, the leaves undergo oak-barrel aging and the unique ‘132’ fermentation method, followed by an additional five years of aging.Grade-9 masters from the Yue School hand-roll each cigar. Each cigar is aged for over a year in Spanish cedar cabinets within the precisely controlled humidity and temperature environment of the CTS Cigar Bank, the largest one in Asia.
Indulging in the journey: A honeyed floral flourish breezes in, bold coffee and woody notes gradually take center stage in the middle. Aromas of caramel, toast, and resin take turns in the finish. The entire experience is complex and dazzling.
