They discover that this cigar is known for its especially flavorful Ecuadorian Havana-seed wrappers, combined with a smooth and robust blend of fine Dominican binder, select Dominican and Central American filler tobaccos, all carefully aged for five years. This aging process gives Julius Caesar its bold, rich, and distinctive flavor.
