A while back I jokingly lamented that I only had a few months supply of new cigars to smoke, and Shaun Wilkinson of Rebellion Cigars reached out to me and offered to share some of his cigars with me. Shaun and his wife are based in the UK, with a residence 
in the US as well, and launched a cigar brand. In the video Shaun tells us all about how he ended up bringing a brand from the UK into the US market. In preparation for our chat, this morning I lit up the Redneck Woman, named for the song by Gretchen Wilson, in their Country Range of cigars. This was the Robusto size, with a Connecticut wrapper, Habano binder and fillers from Jamastran in Honduras and Condega and Esteli in Nicaragua. I found this to be a very flavorful cigar, with some really interesting baking spice type flavors. burn and draw were perfect, and it was very nice with my morning cup of coffee.
You’ll see in the interview that I smoked the Ring of Fire, also in the Country Range. This has a Maduro wrapper that, as we discussed, is of Honduran origin. The binder is Connecticut, and the fillers are from Trojes and Copan in Honduras and Esteli in Nicaragua. I’m a music fan, but I’m not a country fan at all, but it’s hard not to like Johnny Cash, and Ring of Fire is a classic. This cigar was very good, it was bold, with rich chocolate and dark fruit flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoy the video here with Shaun Wilkinson.
If you’re a retailer and happen to be reading this, stop by the Rebellion Cigars booth at the PCA show and give them a look, and tell them you saw them here!
That’s all for today, until the next time,

Great interview
