🇳🇮 NicaraguaNew WorldToroUSD 11

The America series celebrates US tobacco heritage with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder — rarely used as a binder in a standard-priced cigar. A Nicaraguan Habano wrapper over the Connecticut binder and Nicaraguan filler creates a complex, multi-layered medium-full blend.

Tasting notes: Cedar, leather, earth, cocoa, light sweetness. Balanced and complex.
