When Grand Prix racing champion Emerson Fittipaldi retired from the Formula One circuit, he looked for new worlds to conquer. As one who has always enjoyed the finer things in life (including premium cigars), it was perhaps only natural that one of his new endeavors was the creation of fine, hand-rolled vintage cigars.
Teaming up with the legendary Dominican Republic cigar manufacturing family of Augusto Reyes, Emerson Fittipaldi has produced a hand rolled vintage cigar worthy of his name and repuation. The Fittipaldi line of cigars is made from only the finest Dominican-grown vintage Cuban-seed, encased in a specially selected 1993-Vintage Dominican-grown Cameroon wrapper.
The result is a surprisingly affordable, medium-bodied cigar with a smooth, creamy finish - sure to be appreciated by even the most demanding cigar aficionado.
