Dunhill Honduran
In late June, Dunhill Tobacco of London launched its first Honduran-made premium cigar to the U.S. market. The new Dunhill cigars, the Dunhill Honduran range, was introduced in the U.K. in May and was introduced in Germany in mid-June before being made available in the U.S.
The Dunhill Honduran range is handmade at Tabacos San Andres in Danl', Honduras, and consists of a filler from a mix of Dominican, Mexican, and Brazilian tobaccos, a Mexican binder, and an Indonesian wrapper.
Those Dunhill cigars are available in five sizes; Robusto (41/2 x 50), Corona (51/2 x 41), Toro (6 x 50), Lonsdale (61/2 x 42), and Churchill (7 x 48). The Corona and Churchill sizes also come tubed.
The latest Dunhill Honduran Selection, bearing a green and white version of the traditional Dunhill brand, is a major departure from the Dunhill's Dominican-made cigar. Dunhill's Dominican Aged cigar is mild flavored and uses a specially selected Connecticut shade grown wrapper.
According to Chris Boon, product manager for Dunhill Cigars, the smoking uniqueness of the Honduran Dunhill are designed to imitate the heavier-bodied Cuban type of cigar. "Dunhill's Honduran Selection will appeal to cigar aficionados looking for a more forward and full-bodied taste," says Boon.
