CEO of Veritas, one Mr. Chris Weber, via press release: “Vince has been waiting on this for a while and I was happy to oblige him with the National Launch of our highly anticipated lines. We are happy to release this product at a shop that’s in my back yard. It is a good feeling to have this here near my home. James and I worked hard on this and we are very proud of the results we’ve achieved.” James?! Veritas hath done partnered-up with none-other-than James Brown and his Nicaraguan Fabrica Oveja Negra factory to crank out these offerings.
The Torch Connecticut lays an Indonesian binder twixt Nicaraguan guts and Ecuadorian Connecticut top-leaf over-top. The Torch Habano is Nicaraguan guts, fully -- with a Sun Grown Habano top-leaf by way of Ecuador, placed over-top. Each comes in formats a' Robusto, Toro, Torpedo, and 660 Gran Toro.
Playing somewhat the third wheel, or cousin to the Torch Bros., is the 412. Named in homage to the Pittsburgh area code and its own use of PA 'baccy. The Pennsylvania sits in the guts alongside double Ligero Nicaraguan leaf bind'd by San Andres Mexican and top-leaf'd by PA Broadleaf Maduro. The 412 comes in a Toro format, only.
The Habano sounds worth a shot, gentlepersons.
