The Schrader Hispaniola is a limited edition cigar, launched in the fall of 2010. Fred Schrader, owner of Schrader Cellar Wines in Napa Valley, California enlisted the help of his friend Pete Johnson of Havana Cellars to distribute his new line of cigars. Only 11,500 Schrader Hispaniola cigars were made. Each Schrader cigar is packaged individually in its own coffin. When you open the coffin the cigar tilts up, this is very interesting packaging. These cigars were hand rolled in the spring of 2009, manufactured in a small factory by Para T. located outside of Santiago, Dominican Republic.

The look of this cigar is a beautiful mocha colored, with prominent veins and has a slightly oily sheen. The band is quite simple with a beautiful dragon etched on it, as well as the Schrader name.

One will notice a floral flavor in the first third as well which turns into a sweetness that pleases the palette. The smoke is nice and thick, and the first few draws are quite wood like. The ash is grayish at the end and flaky, it gets a bit whiter closer to the stick.

The middle of the Schrader Hispaniola is very woody, with nutty notes. The ash is strong and tight the entire time one is smoking the cigar. As you get towards the end of the cigar the citrus and sweetness die off and it becomes earthier. The earthy wood-like tobacco flavor is strong throughout the entire smoking experience.
