The Wrapper: An Ecuadorian grower crossed Habano and Sumatra seed on an experimental plot, producing a distinctive leaf.
Why It’s Rare: There wasn’t enough of it to support a permanent brand, so most manufacturers passed.
The Blend: We paired it with a Dominican Cibao binder and fillers from Peru, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, then aged thefinished cigars two years.
The Value: Buying the wrapper at a great price let us pass real savings to LCA members: exceptional, surprising, and priced better than it should be.
The Catch: This wrapper was experimental and limited. It likely won’t be grown again.
