BA XXI
The 21st Amendment, ratified in 1933 ending Prohibition.
The Temperance Movement achieved its goal with the 18th Amendment, but an Intemperance Movement was born. BA XXI represents the 21st Amendment that ended Prohibition. The blend features a Brazil Arapiraca wrapper, an Indonesian Besuki binder (a beautiful tobacco native to the East Java region) and a filler blend that contains two ligeros and a seco base leaf: Estelí, Jalapa and a Dominican Criollo from Peñuela.
