"Belmondo, Thompson’s special baby, was an early entrant into the cigar boom sweepstakes. Originally marketed at $90-$110 per box, it was made with top-of-the-line tobaccos always in short supply. Our typical insistence on using only quality tobaccos proved Belmondo’s undoing. When our supply became unreliable, rather than resort to inferior grades, we simply took one of our favorite cigars off the market. Now, however, the time is right for Belmondo’s return! And in its Vintage Reserva edition it’s better than ever. The supply of high quality tobaccos has been restored, and we had the foresight to lay in a sizable amount that we have nurtured for two full years, twice the time most tobaccos are aged. Not only is Belmondo Vintage Reserva now better than the original Belmondo ever was, but with tobacco prices more in line with demand, you can enjoy a substantial savings of $50 per box on this, the pride of our stable of fine cigars. Choose from the elegant Connecticut USA wrapper or the darkly rich Maduro. Either way you go, the return to the market of Belmondo Vintage Reserva at a savings of $50 per box is cause for rejoicing.
