Why is this cigar named after St. George?
Legend has it that George arrived upon a village where a dragon was terrorizing the local people. To appease the creature, they had begun to sacrifice a sheep per day to feed its hunger until they no longer had any sheep. The King then decreed that they must sacrifice the local children to keep the dragon at bay.
Each day, the sacrifice was chosen by lottery until the King’s daughter was selected. As she was being led to the dragon, George happened by. Horrified by what he discovered, he offered to slay the dragon. During his battle with the dragon, George noticed a vulnerable patch of skin under its arm and charged forward with his sword, slaying the beast.
The villagers held a huge feast in his honor and the feast day of Saint George is celebrated each year in tribute to his bravery.
The St. George Toro by La Gente Cigars pays homage to this legendary defender of children by leveraging sales to support the rescue and restoration of child sex trafficking victims in Central America.
