Blackbird Hawk Cigar Culture

Blackbird Hawk Cubra Gran Toro 6 * 54, Box of 14

For their second release, Cigar Culture has collaborated with the Blackbird Cigar Co. to create the Hawk. Cigar Culture is a movement that is dedicated to providing information and educating cigar lovers and the public about the tobacco and cigar industry. The Blackbird Hawk celebrates the non-traditional approach smaller boutique cigar crafters have used to capture the attention of cigar aficionados. The Hawk features a savory, dark tanned Brazilian Cubra wrapper that’s draped over a Mexican San Andres binder and long-filler leaves from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The cigars are handmade at the Blackbird Dominicana Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic.

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.
