This cigar is a tribute to craft, heritage, and restraint blended into one. Named in homage to biblical legacy and artisanal patience, it’s capped in rare CT #142 wrapper aged for three years—a leaf demanding ritual. The smoke flows with purpose: creamy-cedar opening, cocoa-spice midsection, finishing with pepper and leather. It’s designed for those who listen closely to their smoke.
