I never intended to sell it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band says it all.

I had to personally convince him to let me build this blend around it. Inside are carefully selected, well-aged tobaccos from some of the finest parcels on his farms—tobaccos that simply aren’t available in meaningful quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI call it\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eReserva de la Casa\u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eThe House Reserve\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003enot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea medium-bodied cigar.
