Escape with CRIOLLO - BEST NICARAGUN CIGAR OF 2005 In Nicaragua a tobacco grower labored for years over how to take native seeds and genetically enhanced them to yield richer, sweeter tobacco. Yet without tail, each time the perfect flavor was created, the growers worst fears became manifest in the form of blue mold, and his crop would turn to ruin. Until one day, he made the perfect spice. The seed originated in Cuba, motherland of the cigar and previously the place from whence came what the world considerers to be the very best. But that was then. Its been said that if you’ve done it, it isn’t bragging. So it is with great pride that we bring you CRIOLLO. A little piece of history all wrapped up in the richest, sweetest Nicaraguan tobacco you can find, Criollo marks the beginning of a new era, because, thanks to our happy farmer, this seed is immune to disease. Rest assured, or even better, smoke assured that this award winner isn’t going anywhere for a long, long time.
