May 24th 2012 - Outlaw 13

Today brings us the Outlaw 13 in a 6x52 Toro vitola. The 13 was a 2010 release by Outlaw Cigar Co. The story as I understand it is that Dion Giolito, of Illusione, and Jonathan Drew, of Drew Estate, got together and created the Nostros cigar. After receiving the cigar Dion decided that it wasn't what he was looking for and sent them back to JD. Then Outlaw swooped in and snatched up the stock and thus the 13 was born. The blend is being kept secret by Outlaw. What I do know is that it has a classic tobacco core with pepper, spice and a nice sweetness to it as well. I chose this to feature today as the Brooklyn Bridge was opened on this day 1883 after 14 years of construction.
