Cavalier Genève Ships Project Broadleaf Wayfinders
Earlier this year, Swiss cigar company Cavalier Genève introduced Project Broadleaf, a four-part series of Honduran-made smokes emphasizing Connecticut broadleaf as part of its blend. This week, the third installment called Wayfinders began shipping.
Each version of Project Broadleaf comes with a different internal blend and sizing, but all are cloaked in Connecticut broadleaf. Beneath Wayfinders’ wrapper (which the company says has been aged for five years) is a Honduran binder from the Jamastran valley and combination of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Indian filler tobaccos. Indian leaf is seldom used in the premium cigar industry.
Unlike the first two installments of the series (Skywalker and Boartamer), which only came in one size, Wayfinders is available in two vitolas: a toro called 5 7/8x52, and a lengthy “A” size called 9x48. Both are affixed with the company’s signature diamond-shaped piece of gold leaf at the top, and have suggested retail prices of $17 and $28 each, respectively. The cigars ship in boxes of 10.
Project Broadleaf will be produced in limited quantities annually due to the scarcity of Connecticut broadleaf. The cigars are rolled at the company’s Fabrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A. in Danlí, Honduras.
Details concerning the upcoming fourth installment of Project Broadleaf are undisclosed as of now, but the company expects to release it next month.
