Letters of Transit: Provence, France

“When the Good Lord begins to doubt the world, he remembers that he created Provence”.  - Nobel Prize-winning poet Frédéric Mistral

Care to journey to the South of France? Created in the La Zona Factory (makers of 601, Knuckle Sandwich, and 94-point-rated Laranja) in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Provence is the first edition of our Letters of Transit collection. When we first tasted this cigar, and its strong floral and lavender flavor notes, we knew it was the perfect fit for Provence, a region famous for its miles and miles of gorgeous lavender fields. Another aspect we love about this cigar is how unique it is to the cigars typically come out of La Zona, a factory known for it's nicotine-forward, dense, pepper-bombs that tend to bum rush the senses. Instead, the Provence takes its time coating your palate with light, rich, dare we say, elegant flavors that smoke perfectly on a warm summer day.
