Gold Star is a line extension in the United Cigars growing portfolio, produced at the Tabacalera William Ventura Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic. It will be available in a 5 x 52: Robusto ($12), 6 x 54 Toro ($13) and 6 ½ x 60 Gordo ($14).
Each size is blended with filler made up of Dominican Ligeros, Criollo ’98, Corojo ‘98, and Connecticut Broadleaf, Sumatra binder and an Ecuador Habano 2000 Intermedio wrapper.
“Gold Star pays our homage to the classic Dominican tradition while pushing the boundaries of flavor complexity,” Oliver Nivaud of United Cigars said in a press release. “Every draw is a tribute to the passion and skill from the Ventura family factory, our time together on this blend was driven by a true friendship.”
The Gold Star line is scheduled for a March release.
