Hine Cigar Reserve XO 5cl(Hine Cigar Reserve Xo 5cl)

Bernard Hine, sixth generation of the Hine family and Nicholas Freeman, the late Chairman of UK Havana Cigar importers Hunters & Frankau, first met in 1986. From this initial encounter an enduring friendship began. It was a friendship that would eventually lead to the creation of a classic and lasting match between a cognac and a fine handmade cigar. 

In 1996, after ten years of sharing their knowledge and expertise, as well as countless cigars and glasses of cognac, the Hine Cigar Reserve was born. 

It is a rich and distinctive cognac, aged for over 12 years in French oak wood casks. Its depth and complexity make it the perfect accompaniment to a Havana.
