General Cigar Co.’s Foundry has been one of, it not the most interesting projects of the last few years. It’s taken on many different names, many different shapes and many different blends. There’s been nearly 50 different cigars in the first three years of the brand, a number that while staggering, gets intensified given that new sizes have only been announced once per year at the annual IPCPR Convention & Trade Show. War of Currents is one of the lines under the Foundry header, named after the fight between Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla over which system of currents should be used for the U.S. electric grid. Not to make anything more confusing, but War of Currents has two different lines under its name. Four were part of the limited edition Invention Series, while the other two are part of the regular production Laboratories Series.
