The La Vérité project is a very unique undertaking by Pete Johnson that began in 2008. Using only tobacco from Pepin's La Estrella farm, from a single crop year, both La
Vérité and L'Esprit de
Vérité were created, making these small batch vitolas something very special. Much like a single vineyard wine, these cigars showcase the seed varietal and soil where they were grown.
This first offering in 2008 used tobacco from the 2008 crop at La Estrella, which was 100% Habano Criollo. Wrapper, binder and filler are all 2008 La Estrella Habano Criollo.
The 2009 crop at La Estrella consisted of Habano Criollo, Criollo 98 and Pelo de Oro. For the 2009
La Vérité and
L'Esprit de Vérité vitolas, all three seed varietals were used, but in different ratios for each of the vitolas.
2009 La Vérité Churchill is comprised of 50% Habano Criollo, 35% Criollo 98 and 15% Pelo de Oro.
2009 L'Esprit de Vérité Robusto is comprised of 55% Habano Criollo, 35% Criollo 98 and 10% Pelo de Oro.
The La
Vérité vitola is a 7x47 Churchill and is the flagship of the project. A bit more full bodied than it's counterpart, the La
Vérité Churchill is the premier label.
The L'Esprit
de
Vérité Robusto is like a second label in the wine industry. Made from the same source tobacco, but blended a little lighter to be enjoyed earlier.
Both vitolas have been aging for a year or more and are ready to smoke, but can easily age much longer if you have the patience.
Retail pricing on these are set at $25 for La
Vérité and $20 for L'Esprit
de
Vérité .
La Vérité are offered in boxes of 10, 25, 50 (special order - sold out) and master cases of 100 (special order - sold out). L'Esprit de Vérité are offered in boxes of 10 and 25.
Available in very limited quantities.
