UPDATE: New Blend For The DOMINION CLASSIC Line “Blue Checkerboard Band”
In 2021 we added a new Dominion Classic blend to the family incorporates an interesting blend of tobaccos all over 2 years of age prior to roll. Don’t let the colour of its wrapper mislead you into thinking this cigar may have a lack of flavour, as we used a maduro wrapper as a binder mixed with some very tasty filler. The latest Corojo blend now sports the a blue checkerboard band as of 2022, where as the original Sumatra Classic has the red checkerboard version. We will be adding exciting new blends to this line in the near future.
Strength: Medium
Wrapper: Corojo Dominican
Binder/Filler: Dominican,Mexican,Nicaraguan
Original Sumatra CLASSIC “Red Checkerboard Band”
The Dominion Classic originally launched in the United States at the 2017 IPCPR show in Las Vegas, and is now being launched in Canada for the first time officially in early 2019.
Dominion owner Steve Ricker, started working on this project in early 2016 at Ernesto Carrillo’s factory in the Dominican Republic, Tabacalera Alianza. This is the same factory that produced Ernesto’s Encore cigar brand, which won Cigar Aficionado’s 2018 cigar of the year.
For the Canadian Classic launch, Dominion has put together some limited edition checkers sets, and will be giving them away with all purchases of the Dominion Classic, while supplies last.
