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.

Christian Jensen Does the Nicaraguan criollo tobacco used in the filler refer to criollo as a species of tobacco like corojo? I'm getting mixed messages from the internet some same it's means native seed grown tobacco in it's native land, but that seems a little redundant. I'm assuming it's a specific type of tobacco like corojo? Or possibly part of the 3 layers of plant used? Like top top leaves being ligero? Please clarify at your convenience ?? I would appreciate knowing what I'm smoking for my record. Thanks alot team Neptune
