Founders Cigar Company
Douglass Habano
The boldest stick in the Founders core lineup, Habano over Habano for pepper and cedar with a Pennsylvania broadleaf backbone.
$9.00
Founders built the Douglass Habano as the sharpest, most outspoken stick in the lineup, a nod to Frederick Douglass. Habano over Habano gives it that classic pepper and cedar bite up front, with leather, earth, and a touch of natural sweetness underneath. The Pennsylvanian Broadleaf in the filler adds darker weight, so it has backbone without turning into a heavy Maduro. Bold, but not reckless.

- Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. The 2026 Declaration limited edition is confirmed as produced at Tabacalera Las Lavas S.R.L. in the Dominican Republic per Gentleman's Pursuits coverage. Founders does not publicly name a factory for the core line, so the core blends are stated only as Dominican Republic made. Trade chatter tying the line to Casa Cuevas or the Hamilton Candela to MJ Frias could not be verified and is not claimed here.
Tasting notes
The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and matching Habano binder open with black pepper and cedar, then settle into leather, earth, and a thread of natural sweetness. The Pennsylvania broadleaf viso in the filler adds a darker, weightier core, so the cigar carries backbone without crossing into heavy maduro territory. Expect a peppery, cedar forward smoke that stays bold but controlled from light to nub. It is the most outspoken blend in the core lineup.
