As Fine As Wine

L’Atelier owner Pete Johnson has long understood the process of creating premium handmade cigars is similar to wine making. Both ventures take time, patience, and only the best ingredients will make a superior product. L’Atelier’s newest limited release, Côte d’Or is named for a region in France renowned for its Pinot Noir wine varietals. This wine is made with temperamental a grape whose yields tend to be low. In the same spirit, L’Atelier’s Côte d’Or uses the ultra rare and equally temperamental Pelo de Oro tobacco in its blend of fillers.

When Pelo de Oro is combined with L’Atelier’s signature Sancti Spiritus wrapper—a hybrid of Pelo de Oro and criollo tobaccos, the end result is a rich and rewarding medium-bodied cigar that is bold, balanced, and totally rewarding. Only 1,000 ten-count boxes have been produced, so be sure to order now so you can experience this exquisite cigar.
