This medium bodied cigar offers delicious notes of sweetness, spice, pepper and earth. Its dark Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves from Jalapa and Esteli. These are two of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco growing regions. Handmade in Nicaragua, the HVC Havana City Seleccion No. 1 Maduro Essenciales is the first cigar produced at the Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A., which is owned and operated by Reinier Lorenzo, a superb cigar crafter and brand owner.
