Bellatto: Edition Brazil Lonsdale Cigars

Tony Bellatto's relationship with cigars stretches back to childhood, as his father owned several cigar stores in Northeast Ohio. Although he went to college to pursue a more "traditional" career, his fascination with artisan cigars proved to be his true passion. Bellatto was one of the founding members of La Barba and Lost & Found, and both brands made a serious impact across the industry and on smoker's palates. Then, in 2022, he shifted his attention to his new venture: Bellatto Premium Cigars. This personal approach allows Bellato to utilize his extensive industry connections, refined taste, and creativity to maximum potential, resulting in a varied and high-quality assortment of engaging cigars.

The Edition was originally a private blend for the friends and family of William Ventura, the proprietor of Tabacalera William Ventura. Tony Bellatto eventually convinced Ventura to make the blend public, though Ventura keeps the filler and binder tobaccos a guarded secret. Fashioned at Ventura's factory, the Edition cigar boasts either a Brazilian wrapper or a Connecticut Shade wrapper, with the Brazilian variation represented here.
