Hammer + Sickle Tradicion Serie Toro is a 6 inch by 50 ring cigar. Unusual? Yes, but don't let the name or packaging of the Hammer + Sickle Tradition series cigar fool you. It's not some old Russian dog-rocket that was shipped from Siberia during the Cigar Boom of the 90's to finally find it's way to market. The Tradition is a legitimate modern stogie developed in collaboration with Henke Kelner and hand-crafted to compliment the Hammer + Sickle brand of luxury vodka. The tobaccos that comprise the filler and binder are of Dominican origin, aged for three years before being rolled into a five-year-old Ecuadorian grown Connecticut shade wrapper. They are then carefully packed into a clear glass box, one of the coolest packages you've ever seen.
You may get a few strange looks if anyone notices the hammer and sickle design on the band, but be a comrade and offer them a Tradition. Just about any smoker can enjoy the cream and salted almond flavors the smoke provides and they might just ask you to be a friend of the people and split an order. Of course, once you show them the amazing CigarPlace bargain price they will probably want a box all for themselves. This way you can make a counter-offer to share in the purchase of the brand's Hammer + Sickle Second Growth cigar.
