They established their Danli, Honduras factory, La Perla Hondureña, in 1966, initially producing cigars for Alec Bradley and other...

The Banker in your shipment today requires us to travel back to Cuba in 1844. One of the blends they made was so good, unique, and exceptional, they decided to lock that one away in their bank vault only to give out to their most important (wealthiest) clients. While that original blend is long gone, several attempts were made to recreate it, and finally this award winning blend is back for us to enjoy! Starting from the inside is a vintage...
