LEAF BY OSCAR SAMATRA

These cigars represent perhaps one of the most exciting developments in premium cigar smoking to come along in quite a while. Developed by Oscar Valladares at his boutique factory in Danli, Honduras, each LEAF cigar represents a deep connection between the land on which the tobaccos were grown and all the people who contributed to its production. Even the bands are made by a company local to the factory using organic agave to craft the paper. Instead of cellophane, the torcedors have laid each stick inside of a leaf of tobacco for aging and protection. 

These cigars are flawlessly handcrafted out of the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. factory in Honduras. These cigars are covered with a rustic tobacco leaf which acts like a cellophane to protect the Sumatra wrapper and to help it age. Honduran binders and fillers complete this delicious mellow to medium bodied recipe.
