It’s common knowledge that most cigar crafters get some of their inspiration for a new cigar from non-cigar related things like food. And Noel Rojos of Rojas Cigars is no different. The Rojas Street Tacos Barbacoa was inspired by the tacos sold through food trucks and cart vendors in city streets. It was also inspired by the open fire or in-ground cooking methods used by the indigenous people of the Caribbean and Central American (over the years “Barbacoa” has evolved to mean barbecue). The Street Tacos Barbacoa cigar features a rustic, oily, dark-brown Ecuadorian wrapper covering a Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves from the Somoto region of Nicaragua. This is a medium strength, flavorful stick that is handmade at Tabacalera Flor de San Luis factory in Nicaragua.
