Casdagli Basilica C #1

Casdagli Basilica C is a medium-to-full bodied cigar that pays tribute to Emmanuel Casdagli, the patriarch who founded the family’s Egyptian cotton empire. The name “Basilica” evokes the ancient Greek term for “Royal House,” referencing the grandeur of Villa Casdagli and the brand’s heritage.

Blended by Hendrik Kelner Jr. at the Kelner Boutique Factory in the Dominican Republic, Basilica C features a lustrous Brazilian Cubra wrapper, dual binders from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, and a rich filler blend from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru. Its unique construction—with the filler extending beyond the binders—creates a mellow introduction that builds into a complex, balanced smoke.

Flavor notes include vibrant citrus, nutty sweetness, earth, dark chocolate, cocoa, and tobacco. The flared foot enhances the transition into full-bodied richness, making it ideal for pairing with oriental teas or Arabic citrus cuisine. Each cigar is packaged in a cedar piano-top box of 20, individually cellophaned and accompanied by a Boveda humidification pack.
