A lightweight, puckered, all-cotton fabric, seersucker became a staple of the Southern gentleman's wardrobe after Joseph Haspel fashioned the first suit from the material in 1909, as a way of stylishly combating the blazing New Orleans summer heat.
A spicy blend of cigar leaf and other choice tobaccos, we hope this Cellar Series blend will line your cellar much as its namesake fabric once did the streets of New Orleans.
Estimated peak: 7-10 years.
This blend was originally released in July of 2016.
