Since Nicaragua's soil and climate are just so, the Criollo 98 grown Aged Nicaraguan Ligero Long Filler offers a distinct flavor and a certain "kick" that many cigar smokers know and love. This variety was grown in the Esteli region of Nicaragua.
This is a premium cigar filler that is used in many hand-rolled premium cigar filler blends. Roll your own cigars!
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.
"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. "
