Excalibur Miniatures , Connecticut Shade, 3X22 20PK (10CT) The cigar that was inspired by the legendary sword of King Arthur, Excalibur strikes a perfect balance between the straightforward taste of its rich filler tobaccos and the smooth-smoking flavor of its Connecticut Shade wrapper. After the cigars are rolled by master cigar makers in a tradition that goes back to 1845, they are carefully packed in handsome boîte-nature boxes of Spanish cedar to enhance their bouquet and character.
