From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Old Henry is a brand of premium cigar owned by Holt's Cigar Company. It was created by José "Pepin" Garcia and is manufactured at Tabacalera Cubana in Estelí, Nicaragua.

[edit] Description

Old Henry, an English bulldog, was the mascot at Holt's for many years until his death in 2006. The cigar was developed as a tribute to a "beautiful pooch with champion features."1

It is described as "full-bodied and robust, yet balanced and complex." The filler is aged Nicaraugan leaves. There are two Nicaraguan binder types, and the wrapper is a Nicaraguan Corojo.
