The Nasty Fritas uses a Connecticut Broadleaf Oscuro wrapper and a plantation grown Brazilian Mata Fina binder over Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. As with the original Papas Fritas, the Nasty Fritas uses filler tobacco that did not make it into regular Liga Privada No. 9 and Liga Privada T52 cigars.
From the Wynwood Safehouse, “We have been vibing on the Nasty Fritas at Cigar Safari. When the Diplomat App came out, the Papas Fritas quickly became a fan favorite with “Papas Fritas Tuesdays” and the Lit Mafia. I was telling a group at Safari about Nacatahuevos, which is my creation of Nacatamale with 2 over easy eggs on top. The group was like that's the Esteliano version of getting nasty on some French fries. We've been enjoying it mostly at Cigar Safari in Nicaragua, but its time to get mega nasty with our homies.”
