  The El Viejo Continente Maduro cigar is what happens when two great blenders put their heads together. Daniel Guerrero, a cigar enthusiast and master blender, had a strong desire to capture the tradition of Old World European cigar culture. It was then that the El Viejo Continente was born. Its Mexican San Andres wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder and Nicaraguan Ligero filler are expertly blended to create a full bodied cigar and rich and complex smoking experience. Relive a bit of traditional European cigar history by adding the El Viejo Continente to your humidor.
