Early last year, Drew Estate announced a distribution agreement with the Netherlands based cigar company, Royal Agio Cigars. Royal Agio was started in 1904 by Jacques Wintermans, and to this day is run by the Wintermans family. Primarily focusing on cigarillos, the company has factories throughout Europe including one in Sri Lanka, with their Westerlo, Belgium factory being one of the largest in the world producing approximately 750 million cigars annually. For their premium cigar offerings, they have a factory in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic that handles their Balmoral Dominican Selection and De Huifkar production. One of the cigars produced there is the Balmoral Royal Selection Añejo 18, which is what we’ll be taking a look at today. Offered in a 6 1/4 x 52 torpedo and a 5 x 55 Rothschild Masivo, the cigar is said to feature a Brazilian wrapper that has been aged 18 years, thus giving it the Añejo 18 name.
