Douglass

The Douglass Habano by Founders is a powerful tribute to one of America’s greatest voices for freedom, Frederick Douglass. Named after the famed orator and abolitionist, this cigar embodies the relentless pursuit of liberty and justice that Douglass championed throughout his life. Crafted with a blend of meticulously aged tobaccos, the Douglass Habano is as robust in flavor as its namesake was in spirit.

This cigar features an exquisite Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, chosen for its rich, oily texture and deep, complex flavor profile. The same high-quality Habano leaf is also used for the binder, enhancing the cigar’s structural integrity and adding an extra layer of nuanced flavors. This double utilization of Habano ensures a consistent, full-bodied experience, making every puff a reaffirmation of quality and craftsmanship.

Inside, the Douglass Habano is filled with a select blend of tobaccos that includes Nicaraguan Seco, P. Cubano Ligero, and Pennsylvanian Broadleaf Viso. Each component brings its unique characteristics to the table: the Nicaraguan Seco offers a smooth, yet spicy backbone, providing a firm foundation for the blend. The P. Cubano Ligero introduces a bold, intense flavor, adding a bit of vigor and zest that reflects Douglass’s dynamic oratory. Finally, the Pennsylvanian Broadleaf rounds out the mix with its rich, earthy notes, grounding the cigar in a profound depth of flavor.

Upon lighting the Douglass Habano, one is immediately greeted with a wave of pepper and spice, indicative of the Ecuadorian Habano’s vibrant profile. As the smoke progresses, the complexity builds, unveiling layers of leather, cedar, and a subtle hint of sweetness that echoes the underlying themes of hope and perseverance that Douglass himself championed. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering spice that invites contemplation and appreciation.

The construction of the Douglass Habano is impeccable, offering a smooth draw and even burn that allows the smoker to fully engage with the rich tapestry of flavors without distraction. The ash holds firm, reflecting the steadfast principles of Douglass, while the smoke itself is dense and aromatic, filling the air with a scent as commanding as Douglass’s legendary speeches.

This cigar is more than a smoking experience—it is an homage to the enduring fight for freedom and equality. The Douglass Habano is perfectly suited for those reflective moments when one contemplates the larger battles of society, or during discussions where ideas and philosophies are as robust as the smoke being enjoyed.

In sum, the Douglass Habano from Founders not only honors a historical figure but also delivers a smoking experience packed with promise and depth. It is a fitting tribute to Frederick Douglass, a man whose legacy continues to inspire the pursuit of freedom and justice in America and beyond.
