A short, dark San Andrés maduro priced as a bundle cigar and blended like one that isn't.
Rothchildes exists because Dion Giolito wanted a cheap cigar he would actually smoke. It is short, dark, and gets to cocoa and earth immediately without a long warm-up. At its price it competes with cigars that cost twice as much, and it is one of the few genuine bargains that enthusiasts recommend without qualifying it. Buy a five-pack rather than one — this is a cigar you go through quickly.
A short, rich smoke on a budget. The best value maduro in the catalog.
