Inspired by the fiery spirit of its namesake, the Henry Clay War Hawk delivers a blend that honors American grit and defiance. Named after the influential 19th-century statesman who championed the War of 1812, this cigar embraces that same fearless character—with a flavor profile that’s as bold as the man behind the name.

Departing from the traditional Connecticut Broadleaf, the War Hawk features a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a robust U.S. Broadleaf binder and Honduran long-fillers. The result? A medium-bodied smoke with unexpected complexity—earthy and rich, yet layered with vibrant spice, cocoa, and cedar.

Following the success of the 92-rated Henry Clay Stalk Cut, the War Hawk raised the bar even higher—earning a 95-rating and a spot as #10 Cigar of 2020. Cigar Aficionado praised it for its “notes of citrus, spice and nutmeg… bright and lively flavors with a sneaky strength.”
