Meridian cigars marked the debut release from Cornelius & Anthony, a premium cigar company with, not Cuban tobacco roots, Virginia tobacco roots – and quite pedigreed roots, at that.

“My family has been growing tobacco in southern Virginia since the1860s,” says Cornelius & Anthony founder, Steven Anthony Bailey. His great-great grandfather, Cornelius Bailey, was the first known Bailey family member to farm tobacco in the southern piedmont section of Virginia and the inspiration for the company name. “My longstanding admiration and appreciation of fine cigars prompted the idea to pay homage to my family’s tobacco history and dedication to the leaf.”

Produced in Estelí, Nicaragua, Meridian cigars are handcrafted with a core of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos bound in a Nicaraguan leaf and finished with Ecuadorian-grown wrappers that shimmer with an attractive rosy patina. Expect a well-balanced, medium-bodied smoke teeming with rich notes of spice and cedar wood with a creamy lingering sweetness on the finish.

Available in four popular sizes presented in handsomely illustrated boxes of 20 cigars, Cornelius & Anthony Meridian cigars deliver a smoking experience you will want to return to often at a very reasonable price. Be sure to add some to your next order.

• Venganza cigars were the second release from Cornelius & Anthony, and offer you a flavorful powerhouse of a smoke blended with Nicaraguan filler & binder leaves capped in a silky Ecuadorian wrapper. The cigars themselves were inspired by the 1876 Bailey Machine Gun, which is featured on the boxes by way of a 19th century patent illustration for the gun. If you like your cigars “bold” the Venganza kicks-off with a spicy pepper blast that rounds-off with a lingering sweetness on a long, smooth finish, yet never loses its spicy edge and dead-center balance. You may also pick-up some notes of sweet spice, cedar, espresso and leather along the trail, making the Venganza one of the more complex journeys you’ve ever embarked upon.
