[edit] Description
Old Henry, a Bulldog, was the mascot at Holt's for many years until his death in 2006. The cigar was developed as a tribute to a "beautiful pooch with champion features."1
It is described as "full-bodied and robust, yet balanced and complex." The filler is aged Nicaraugan leaves. There are two Nicaraguan binder types, and the wrapper is a Nicaraguan Corojo.
