Nica Rustica Cigar: New Sizes Available

At the 2015 IPCPR, Drew Estate showcased two new sizes of the Nica Rustica cigar. Originally, the cigar was only available in a 6x52. Now, you can enjoy it in a Short Robusto 4 ½ x 50 or a Belly 7 ½ x 54.

The Nica Rustica cigar blend was created as a tribute to the hard work that goes on in Esteli, Nicaragua to produce high quality cigars. With filler tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa and a San Mexican Andres Negro binder, the cigar has a medium to full-body.

The wrapper is what really makes the cigar unique. The Nica Rustica cigar has a Connecticut Broadleaf Mediums wrapper. Surprisingly, t’s much different from a Connecticut Broadleaf Darks wrapper. To make sure the wrappers have been sorted correctly, Drew Estate has even bought some Connecticut tobacco plants.


Try this tribute to Esteli and enjoy the mediums wrapper. You can get the cigars in boxes of 25 from Cuenca Cigars. As always, shop with us for the best online prices.
     

The Highly Rated Casa Cuba Cigar

Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba cigars had a bit of a rocky start, but have achieved great success. Originally announced in 2013, the cigar was delayed because of several incidents. The 2013 IPCPR finally saw the launch of the Casa Cuba cigar. It was warmly accepted and in October 2014, Cigar Aficionado gave it a 90 rating.

The Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba cigar is named after the Tampa, FL Casa Cuba Factory. The factory was around in the 50’s, but was bought by the Arturo Fuente Cigar Company two decades later. It wasn’t until recently that the Casa Cuba name achieved popularity.

The Casa Cuba cigar is blended by Carlos Fuente, Sr. Although he hasn’t been a part of the blending process in years, he hasn’t lost his touch. The Casa Cuba cigar has an Ecuador Havana wrapper, a Dominican binder, and a Dominican Cuban-seed wrapper. The cigar is medium-bodied and pleasant to smoke.


The Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba cigar comes in several sizes, all named after Cuban dominoes. They look as good as they smoke. Try yours for the best online prices from Cuenca Cigars.
