The Centenario Gold Label is part of Casa de Garcia’s long line of pocket pleasing everyday cigars. The Gold Label has a smooth, pleasant profile that makes it an excellent choice for a morning smoke, or throughout the day. The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua by Plasencia Cigars.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Claro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Plasencia Cigars
The Plasencia family has been in the tobacco industry for six generations. With two factories located in Nicaragua, Nestor Plasencia Sr. grows and cures tobacco, and makes millions of cigars every year for renowned brands such as Rocky Patel and Gurkha.

The Casa de Garcia Connecticut cigars are made in the Dominican Republic with an aged blend of Honduran and Dominican fillers, all wrapped in a smooth Connecticut binder and Connecticut Shade wrapper. These are very consistent cigars that, while economical, deliver mild, sweet flavor from beginning to end.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley.

M. Louie Gentlemen, can't you do anything about the tight knots located before and after the ring band on the Casa De Garcia Connecticut toro and robusto cigars? there are at least half of each bundle of 20 s that have these issues. It is difficult to enjoy an otherwise good cigar. The same issues are also with the maduro line of robustos, the fillers are packed so tight at certain points that one ends up throwing the cigar away. I can live with the uneven burn, but not the draw or lack of it.
