Aged Nicaraguan Ligero Esteli Filler

Description

This Nicaraguan Ligero Cigar Long Filler is aged to perfection.

Being the thicker and stronger of the long filler types, the Nicaraguan ligero is what provides the bold flavor and spice in premium cigars, even more so than other ligeros grown in other regions. 

Being a leaf from the last priming, our Nicaraguan Ligero tobacco leaf is thicker and stronger than its counterpart, the Nicaraguan seco tobacco leaf. This leaf is grown from the Criollo 98 tobacco seed, comes from the region of Esteli. This area, set at the highest point in the valley, is known for its strong tobacco.  The leaf grown in this region carries a noticeable spice, as well as thicker leaf. This is a result from the dense, black soil its grown in and the increased amount of sunlight from its higher altitude.

What People Are Saying About Leaf Only

"The dark fire cured remains a winner, but a little goes a long way in my pipe blends. One half leaf rolled with about two big bright leaves and then scissored makes a decent substitute for Three Nuns or Escudo. My favorite so far is your Canadian flue cured shredded and blended with modest amounts of Latakia and Perique. Almost indistinguishable from the former Dunhill London Mixtures and way better than the current musty German or Danish versions now available. A REAL treat is any of your bright leaf products tightly rolled with an UNrolled bit of Gawith and Hoggarth Black Irish Twist and then sliced. Makes a grand substitute for many tobaccos which have just gone away. "
