Avowed Awakening Limited Edition 2024 (5.5 x 52)

The Avowed Awakening Limited Edition 2024 is the first limited-edition release from Avowed Cigars, handcrafted at Kelner Cigars S.A.S. in the Dominican Republic. Produced in a single 5 1/2 x 52 robusto extra format, Awakening features a rare Ecuadorian hybrid wrapper known internally as Capa Marron, a leaf reportedly last grown nearly a decade before the cigar’s release. Beneath that distinctive wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano binder and a filler blend of Dominican Criollo 98, Dominican Piloto Cubano, Dominican San Vicente, and Pennsylvania tobacco, creating a medium-bodied profile built around depth, nuance, and slow-building complexity.

Awakening delivers a layered smoking experience with notes of cedar, sweet tea, cocoa, toasted bread, honey, earth, almonds, white pepper, and coffee, with occasional citrus and maple-like sweetness adding brightness. The wrapper brings a nostalgic aromatic quality, while the ligero-forward filler blend adds structure and progression without overwhelming the cigar’s balance. Limited to 2,000 boxes of 10 cigars, the Awakening is a rare, one-time Avowed release that showcases boutique Dominican craftsmanship, unusual tobacco selection, and a profile designed for smokers who appreciate subtle transitions and refined complexity.
