The Powstanie Wojtek 2021 Limited Edition had a nice start and the creamy coffee was a nice supporting note. The second third dropped down as the toast level became heavy and maintained that level for the rest of the cigar. Overall, the cigar was fairly average as it couldn't hold on to that profile from the first third. With the high price point, it's not likely that I'd revisit this all that often.
This truly limited cigar has a production of only 250 boxes (20 Count). It’s important to recognize that great accomplishments require the team to be successful. Too often we see success only as a face of a single man. Surrounded by Champions is a cigar that pays homage to the people that made Powstanie possible. The main ingredient of greatness is the rest of the team.
Powstanie has created a new limited edition. The 2021 edition of Wojtek, a.k.a The War Bear, is a 6 x 52 Box Press Toro cigar that is made in the Nica Sueno factory in Nicaragua. Only 500 boxes were produced. The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano and San Andreas barber pole. The binder is Indonesian and the filler is Dominican and Nicaraguan.
The Powstanie Wojtek 2020 Limited Edition has begun shipping. This is the second release for the line and comes in a 6x52 Toro vitola with Ecuadorian Habano and Mexican San Andrés Barber Pole wrappers, Indonesian binder and fillers from Nicaragua. Five hundred boxes have been produced and each contains 21 cigars with a per cigar price of $13.00.
The Powstanie Wojtek had a pretty simple flavor profile with not much transition, but even so, it did it well. While the price is a bit high for a cigar of this size, it provided a longer than expected smoking time, so it does provide value with the flavor delivery and smoking length. I'd be happy to smoke more of these and would have no problem recommending that others give this a try.
