Blanton Bourbon Barrels Loans Wonderful Flavor to Cigars (Video)

Quite a number of bourbon drinkers also like to smoke cigars. Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars has the perfect combination.
Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars make a cigar that has been aged in a barrel that once held Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon.
The people at Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars are a rare breed. As you can imagine, a number of people told the cigar makers that Kentucky should never try to compete with the Latin American countries. But Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars love Kentucky because of the vast supply of leaf, knowledge, and skilled workers. Most cigars are a blend of relatively common tobacco. Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars likes to experiment with different leaves and flavors, including the Blanton Bourbon, Moonshine and Mint Julep.
Allen Mobley is the man behind the vision. Located in Lawrenceburg, on the famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Mobley, along with his wife Carol is continually tinkering with his craft. His vision is not to make the best of one line of cigars, but to introduce a medley of new tastes for cigar smokers.
Blanton Bourbon Cigars are not soaked in bourbon or injected with any bourbon flavor. Rather the tobacco leaves are placed in used Blanton Bourbon barrels and left to absorb naturally the bourbon environment. Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars may have over 500 barrels at one time working their magic.
Mobley imports leaves, but his desire is to have a complete Kentucky original using only Kentucky tobacco.
We see a market with blends that not only are… not common, yet filled with flavorings from our own Kentucky heritage including Bourbon, Whiskey, Moonshine or even Mint Julep, therefore someone can experience cigars available from no where else. When that’s not enough, “you can customize your own” blend of special cigar with varieties from all over the world.
