It was a tremendous challenge, as expected, requiring years of development with high-grade premium tobaccos to create these final blends.” said Jaime Florez-Estrada, VP of Marketing for Royal Agio Cigars USA.

The Ecuador blend uses a shade-grown Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, meant to provide a creamy and medium-bodied smoking experience.  The Brazil blend has a sun-grown Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper to offer a medium-bodied cigar with compleity.

Francisco Batista, Premium Cigar Master Blender, commented, “Everyone at the factory in San Pedro de Macorís is extremely proud to be a part of this cigar project that directly reflects the local way of life in this town, one that seeks to enhance everyday experiences and enjoyment, no matter what it is. We can’t wait for you to try these cigars!”
