Vitals
New World
Grown and blended outside Cuba — Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Ecuador and beyond. New World makers have redefined premium cigar-making with bold innovation and diverse microclimates.
Leaf Composition
Growing Region — Jalapa Valley
Nuanced, sweet leaf with fine texture; less body and spice than Estelí
High-altitude Nicaraguan valley prized for nuanced, sweeter leaf with less body than Estelí. Used by Oliva (Melanio), Padrón, My Father, and many boutique brands. The elevation and volcanic soils produce a distinct terroir impossible to replicate elsewhere.
