Jake Wyatt • Appendix II • Gordo

Prioritizing medium-bodied smokes marked by exceptional balance, delightful nuance, and overall smoothness, Jake Wyatt cigars are all hand-rolled at the Tabacalera JVM in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, showcasing exceptional tobaccos and often featuring subtle barber pole-like wrapper accents. The brand was founded in 2022 by Neil Garcia and Gerard Abajian and named after their two sons, Jake and Wyatt, with many of their blends drawing inspiration from the founders' previous experience in retail and professional sports and love for philosophy and literature.

The Appendix II cigar is part of Jake Wyatt's regular-production core lineup, and its name is a reference to the brand's Herbert Spencer line. Herbert Spencer was a 19th century English philosopher, and Jake Wyatt's eponymous blend invokes Spencer's quote, "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. This principle is, contempt prior to examination." In summary, "Don't know something until you've tried." The Appendix II line is named for where that Spencer quote was first published, and as a blend it showcases Dominican binder and fillers within an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper accented with Mexican San Andrés Maduro leaf at the foot and cap. It's a cigar that embodies Jake Wyatt's brand identity, offering a smooth and creamy, mild-bodied smoke
