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 Jalapa 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 arrives packed in flat stacks. The benefit of this format is that you can immediately roll these leaves into a cigar binder.
This leaf is grown from the Criollo 98 tobacco seed, comes from the region of Jalapa. This remote region near Honduras is known for its humid microclimate, and sandy soil that is very similar to the Vuelta Abajo or Pinar del Rio region in Cuba. These soft, reddish colored leaves carry a sweet strength and aroma, and a smooth and elegant texture.
"I flashed up a cigar, hand made no less with Pennsylvanian filler, Aged Dominican Volado filler, Dominican binder and Ecuadorian Seco Shade wrapper! I rolled it a little loose so it is not the best draw, but, man what a flavourfull smoke. Once I get the rolling pressure down this will be my go to smoke. An absolute full to overflowing mouthfull of rich vanila-ish, bitter chocolate flavour. I am pleased beyond expectations. I will try another blend from my last order to tweak it some more, but, wow! what a pleasant surprise. Thank you again for being there with all your help ordering and supplying. I think the people at Leaf Only work very hard to please their customers.
