Translated to 'The Beard', La Barba Cigars was founded in 2010 by Tony Bellatto and Craig Rossi, who decided to name the company after the formidable beards the pair proudly wore. La Barba Red is the brand's first release, originally manufactured at the Honduran Aladino factory but since having relocated to Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic. Featuring a Dominican wrapper, Dominican Corojo binder and Dominican Habano and Corojo filler, this medium to full-bodied Dominican cigar will slather your palate with delicious notes of chocolate, raisin, cinnamon and cedar for an experience worthy of such a majestic name.
Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.
Strength
Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Dominican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
The main tobacco region in the Dominican Republic is the Cibao valley in the northern part of the island. In the 60s, Cuban seeds were brought here by exiled Cuban cigar makers and found that they grew exceptional cigar tobacco, called Piloto Cubano. The native Dominican tobacco, called Olor, is milder than Piloto Cubano yet more aromatic. The first company to grow Dominican tobacco for cigar wrapper was Tabacalera Arturo Fuente in 1995.
Binder
Dominican Corojo
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. Corojo seeds were brought to the Dominican Republic from Cuba to produce excellent quality wrapper and binder leaves.
Filler
Corojo
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Dominican Habano
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
