Micallef Red

The Micallef Red was crafted to enhance the great moments in life with friends and family. The cigar uses a dark muscular Mexican San Andres wrapper paired with a Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder, which houses a Nicaraguan and Mexican filler. This awesome blend delivers a strong but not overpowering smoking experience that’s matched with a deep complexity making it an excellent choice for special occasions or quiet moments shared with special friends.

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
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder
USA Pennsylvania
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
USA Pennsylvania is a broadleaf tobacco that has a dark, earthy, and rustic appearance. It is grown in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and it has a bold, flavorful, and spicy profile. It is chiefly used as a maduro wrapper, but it also makes a good binder.
Broadleaf
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Broadleaf tobacco leaves are known for being large, resilient, thick, and sweetness. Ideally, they are used in the production of maduro cigars and primarily used as wrappers, but they add dimension to a cigar’s flavor profile when used as a binder.
Filler
Mexico
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
