The Tradecraft Shinobi is the fourth release in the Tradecraft Cigars core line— a full-bodied 5.5 × 52 Gran Robusto blended by Rob Blumenthal and produced by Hostos Quesada at Tabacalera La Isla in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Shinobi joins the Gladius, Azorian, and Vitruvian, adding a new voice to the line built around a Sumatra wrapper and a bold blend that leans into layered strength and complexity.
True to Tradecraft fashion we are tapping into our love of history. There is perhaps no other culture we love more than the ancient Japanese. We are collectors of Japanese swords from the Kamakura and Muromachi era, collectors of Japanese tattoos and appreciators of Japanese art.
There is no other group in history that embody the spirit and application of Tradecraft more than the Shinobi. The inventors of Tradecraft. So much so in fact, that the tactics and techniques of the Shinobi were recorded in the historical documents, The Shoninki.
Dark, sweet, and slow-burning, Shinobi delivers the kind of balance and complexity that has become the trademark of Tradecraft's cigars. Coffee, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and saffron weave through a steady sweetness, rewarding the unhurried smoker with layers of rich smoke that take you on a journey.
