United Cigars unveils the Commodore, an extension of Red Anchor, blending a medium-plus bodied experience at the Kelner Boutique Factory. Crafted with precision, it embodies a legacy of excellence, inviting aficionados on a taste-filled journey at $750 per box or $30 per cigar.
"Pretty much any amount of inattention would result in a relight or touch up. Half of the cigar would burn and it would take some time for the other half to catch up. There were no visually identifiable flaws, but I am sure there had to be something off kilter about the construction to have such a tight draw and tough burn. I would not be eager to smoke it again, but it was not unsmokable." -Ryan H. (Ryan H.)
United Cigars is adding four new sizes to their Red Anchor for 2023. The brand goes all the way back to 1772 when Red Anchor was created by Albertus Hillen Sigarenfabriek in Delft, Holland. The brand was passed down through the family until 1890 when it was sold to Martinus Holland who continued to expand the brand into a tin format through the early 1900s until the brand went out of business in 1937.
