7-20-4 Cigars

Kurt Kendall has revived an old, historic brand name, 7-20-4. Originally named for R.G. Sullivan’s original factory at 724 Elm Street, the brand lasted from 1875 through 1963 in Manchester.

A smooth, full-bodied cigar available in 5 sizes and featuring a blend from multiple countries.

Handmade in Honduras
Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina
Binder: Costa Rica
Filler: Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, Columbia

I met Kurt in Nicaragua where we were both attending a factory opening as guests of Pete Johnson. Kurt handed me a 7-20-4 cigar to smoke and I knew it would be a hit in the NHC portfolio.


My review....


Appearance: Very dark brown wrapper.Course and rough looking with small veins.Looks similar to the Conn. broadleaf maduro wrapper.


Construction: Very firm roll with no soft spots (I hope it draws well) and a pigtail cap.


Draw/Burn: Perfect draw despite the rock hard like roll. Ash color is almost white with typical characteristics.


Taste: Med. body, the smoke is complex with full flavor,wood and leather notes dominate with black pepper and a hint of cocoa. Reminds me of a spicier La Riqueza.


Conclusion: A very pleasant smoking cigar,one that I will smoke again,recommended.

Thanks for the great review Don!  I have one of these and I must try it now.  Its been sitting for a while!

These are the cigars that I was running box splits of.  Great cigars if I do say so myself.  Kurt and Twins is right up the road, so if there is interest in box splits again, I will run some more.  If you just want some without doing a split, let me know, I get a much better deal than what is listed on the site.

I'd be down for a fiver.

Great review Don, La Riqueza is one of my go to sticks the #5...I think I must try these if they are similar.

Kurt is a class act, I forgot he had his own blend.  By the sounds of it, might be something that I would really want to have in the humi. I have not been up to Twins in many years.....probably 2003.  Last time was a GNESO Herf.

Is the 7-20-4 his wedding date?  He was very close to tying the knot when I met him.

No it's not.  He did get married, his wife is a sweetheart.

7-20-4 was the addy of the RG Sullivan Cigar Factory in Manchester, NH.

Oh and the title should read K.A. Kendalls, not N.A. Kendalls.
