Experience rarity in motion with Avowed Awakening Limited Edition 2024 Gran Robusto, a small-batch celebration of vintage leaf and meticulous craft. Built around the last remaining bales of an Ecuadorian Hybrid “Capa Marrón” wrapper (last grown nearly a decade ago), Awakening delivers a nostalgic yet novel profile that won’t be repeated once these cigars are gone.

Rolled exclusively by one dedicated pair of rollers at Kelner Cigars S.A.S. and aged two years after rolling, this 5.5" x 52 Gran Robusto layers an Ecuadorian Habano binder over a sophisticated filler recipe of Dominican Piloto Cubano, Criollo ’98, Corojo ’99, San Vicente, and Cotuí with a touch of U.S. Pennsylvania. The result is medium-to-full body with remarkable balance and progression.

From first light, expect a maple sweetness and white pepper that evolve into creamy cedar, dry tea leaves, cashew, oatmeal, and dark chocolate. The midsection introduces cinnamon, anise, leather tack, sourdough, and honeyed spice, while the final third crescendos with powdery cocoa nibs, creamy cashews, coffee bean, toasted bread, mineral salinity, and a soft floral finish. Construction is exemplary, dense, creamy smoke, a self-correcting burn, and a silky, milk-chocolate hue to the wrapper that hints at the richness inside.

Released February 2025 and limited to 2,000 boxes of 10, Awakening honors Avowed’s ethos of family, heritage, and patient aging an invitation to “awaken” your senses with a once-in-memory wrapper and an undeniably refined performance.
