There’s not a plethora of innovation when it comes to cigars, particularly rolling cigars. Last month, Viva Republica announced Jailbreak, a product that certainly falls in the minority. The concept was simple. Jason Holly, Viva Republica’s founder, wondered what would happen if you stuck a lancero inside of a big ring gauge cigar. In the end, the inside cigar is more petite lancero than lancero at 6 x 41, and the overall product is 6 x 58, as opposed to the 8 x 80s that now grace humidors. That 6 x 41 cigar uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper. It’s rolled and aged like a normal cigar, but when it comes time to roll the outer part of Jailbreak, it’s placed on the rolling table and surrounded by additional filler, binder and eventually a Dominican corojo wrapper. Jailbreak was limited to 300 boxes of 20 with a suggested retail price of $12.50 per cigar. Cigar Reviewed: Viva Republica Jailbreak Country of Origin: Dominican Republic Factory: E.
