L'Atelier La Mission du L'Atelier 1959

Released in 2012 by Pete Johnson and the Garcia family as a more experimental, edgy side project — the three original sizes deliberately echo Cuba's Cohiba Behike line down to the pigtail cap. An Ecuadorian wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler (every blend includes a leaf of rare Sancti Spiritus tobacco) gives caramel, cracked black pepper, black volcanic salt, espresso, dark chocolate, leather, and cream.
