Translated to 'The Beard', La Barba Cigars was founded in 2010 by Tony Bellatto and Craig Rossi, who decided to name the company after the formidable beards the pair proudly wore. La Barba Purple is the brand's second release, and the first to come out of Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic. Featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper on top of a Dominican Corojo binder and Dominican Habano and Corojo filler, this medium-bodied Dominican cigar will slather your palate with creamy notes of nuts, earth, graham cracker and vanilla for an experience worthy of such a majestic name.
