L’Atelier La Mission

The new L’Atelier La Mission is heading to Anthony’s Cigar Emporium.  Our shipment from L’Atelier Imports went out yesterday.    L’Atelier is debuting a new regular production line called La Mission, in keeping with French motifs in labeling and packaging. La Mission is inspired by the famous Bordeaux winery, Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Pete Johnson has committed to adding a size to the line for every vintage that this coveted Bordeaux received a 100 point rating by legendary wine taster Robert Parker. So far, there have been seven: 1955, 1959, 1982, 1989, 2000, 2005, and 2009. The L’Atelier La Mission is being launched with three sizes, with the same dimensions as the original L’Atelier labeled LAT line: 1959 (4 3/4″ x 52 Short Robusto), 1989 (5 5/8″ x 54 Robusto Extra), and 2009 (6 1/2″ x 56 Gran Toro).

As for the blend, the cigar is draped in a maduro Mexican San Andrés wrapper, with 100% Nicaraguan binder and filler that incorporate the same Sancti Spiritus leaf that is a hybrid of Criollo and Pelo de Oro that L’Atelier has used in all of its L’Atelier label cigars and prized for its spicy sweet characteristics. The L’Atelier La Mission has been blended by the García family and manufactured at its My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Each La Mission will be a box-pressed cigar with a pig-tail cap. The cigar is very robust and full bodied yet complex and balanced, just like the Château La Mission Haut-Brion.  The resulting profile for the L’Atelier La Mission is a rich and rewarding smoke with a hint of complex sweetness and cocoa from the San Andrés wrapper that combine well with the strong, earthy and spicy taste of fine Nicaraguan tobaccos.
