  Southern Draw Kudzu

  When Southern Draw Cigars was founded, they had two goals in mind. The first was to create a memorable cigar with a great draw, and a nice even ash. The other goal was to make a cigar that would go well with boutique wines or craft beers. The Kudzu, Southern Draw’s debut cigar, surpasses both goals. Handmade at AJ Fernandez’s Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, the Kudzu is a full-strength premium cigar that features a double-fermented Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, an Ometepe binder, and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. Once rolled the Southern Draw Kudzu is expertly aged to bring out its rich, full-bodied flavors of cedar, cocoa, and spice.
• Cigar Shape
  Robusto

  The Robusto is a short Churchill size, traditionally 5 to 5.5 inches by a 50 ring gauge.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
• Cigar Length
  5"1/2

  This cigar is 5"1/2 inches long, or 139.7 mm.
• 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.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Habano

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has become one of the most used cigar wrappers in the market. Grown primarily by the Oliva family, this tobacco originated from Habano or H2000 seeds brought to Ecuador from Cuba. This leaf is rich and flavorful thanks to the temperate climate of Ecuador and the quality of its volcanic soil.
• Cigar Binder
  Ometepe

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Ometepe is a volcanic island in Lake Nicaragua, which grows tobacco in small quantities. The area’s nutrient rich volcanic soil is known to give Ometepe tobacco its sweet, earthy taste.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
