Twenty years in tobacco. Four generations of the Rico family. One cigar to mark the milestone.
The vitola names tell the story: El Sueño was the dream. El Desafío was the struggle. El Triunfo is the success. This is the largest and boldest expression of the 20th Aniversario line, a 6×60 Gran Gordo that George Rico waited years to release right. Halfwheel
The wrapper is a shade-grown Corojo from Jalapa, Nicaragua, aged four years before rolling. Underneath: a Nicaraguan binder and a three-country filler blend from Colombia, Nicaragua, and Peru. The result is medium in body but complex in development, toasted bread and cashew on the open, cedar and cream through the mid, with white pepper and a faint molasses sweetness on the retrohale. The 6×60 ring gauge gives the blend room to breathe. This is a long, slow, rewarding smoke.
Production is capped at 4,000 boxes per quarter, allocated to only 200 retailers worldwide. When it's gone, it's gone until the next release.

Four years of aging on the wrapper. A three-country filler blend. A vitola name that means "The Success." The 20th Aniversario El Triunfo doesn't need to announce itself. it earns the score. Construction is clean, draw is effortless, and the flavor development justifies every minute you spend with it.
