A small-batch passion project by friends, made possible by family.
Vanguard is a bold, refined blend born from years of friendship, shared curiosity, and a deep love for exceptional tobacco. It’s the brainchild of longtime cigar lovers Griff and Dave—a project brought to life through genuine passion and skilled hands.
Hand-rolled at the legendary La Corona Factory in Nicaragua, Vanguard features a dark Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper over Nicaraguan tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa. What truly sets it apart is the rare medio tiempo leaf—known for its rich strength and earthy complexity. The result is a medium-full bodied cigar with real character and depth, from the first draw to the last ash.
