Protocol and Dojo combine forces for the fourth time, introducing the Protocol Tenure cigar! Made in celebration of Cigar Dojo’s 10-year anniversary, the Tenure retains the central theme of law enforcement as well, tipping the cap to the most tenured members of the police force.

UPDATE: as of 2pm (EST), the Protocol Tenure has sold out, clocking in at under two hours from launch to sellout. There are still a small number of cigars available for the Tenure release party, offered in-person at the Famous Smoke Shop retail location in Easton, PA.

The Protocol Tenure has been rolled in a singular 6″ x 52 box-pressed toro format, with only 500 boxes of 10 cigars available. Being a celebratory release, the Tenure makes use of a special blend from Héctor J. Alfonso Sr. of Espinosa Premium Cigars. Héctor worked closely with the La Zona factory of Estelí, incorporating a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Nicaraguan Corojo binder, and fillers of Estelí and Condega. Additionally, a rare selection of 10-year-aged tobaccos are used within the filler.

This is one of the most refined Dojo collaborations to date, offering a restrained maduro profile that focuses on nuanced flavor and velvet-like texture above all else. With a medium body and medium-full flavor profile, the cigar hits standout characteristics of rain-soaked soil, mocha, and a long-lasting black tea note through the finish.
