A Cigar Like No Other
The 54 ring gauge delivers a cool, balanced draw that keeps the Concepción's fiery, high-nicotine character highly enjoyable from first light to final puff. Three distinct vibrant red and black bands adorn the cigar, and when purchased in a box of 10, the packaging doubles as a hand-painted wooden ashtray — a collector's piece in its own right.
