The Tobacconist of Greenwich, renowned for curating the world's most exceptional cigars, proudly introduces the latest masterpiece to our Rare Finds series: Blend 1229-42. Our exploration of...
Rare Finds Blend 610-11 — the blend number isn't random. June 10th, 2011. The day TOG founder Jimmy Lacerra passed. Henke and Klaas Kelner crafted this 7" x 50 Diademas Finas perfecto in his honor — a masterwork of boutique cigar artistry produced in extremely small quantities due to the difficulty of its shape.
The Artistry
The 610-11 is a Diademas Finas — a 7" x 50 perfecto format that demands absolute precision. The tapered head and foot require extraordinary skill to roll, and imperfections have nowhere to hide. Production is measured in dozens, not hundreds. Each cigar represents hours of meticulous handwork at Kelner Cigars S.A.S. in Santiago de los Caballeros.
This is not a cigar made for volume. It's made for those who understand what a perfecto reveals that other shapes cannot.
The Blend
Henke Kelner — a member of the Cigar Aficionado Hall of Fame and one of the most respected master blenders in the world — developed the 610-11 alongside his son Klaas. The father-and-son duo drew on decades of experience to create a blend where the quality does the talking.
Dominican tobaccos throughout. Medium-full body. Chocolate and coffee dominate the first third, giving way to creamy cedar and subtle spice as the perfecto narrows toward its finish. The smoke is dense, aromatic, and impossibly smooth — the result of leaf selection that accepts nothing less than perfection.
The Legacy
Jimmy Lacerra opened The Tobacconist of Greenwich in 1974. For decades, he built relationships with the world's finest cigar makers and cultivated a clientele that expected nothing but the best. The 610-11 carries that legacy forward — a cigar worthy of the man it honors.
Extremely Limited
Due to the difficulty of the Diademas Finas format and the precision required to produce it, the 610-11 is made in incredibly small quantities. When it's gone, it's gone.
