Dalay Nicaragua

Daly Zigarren is a German based company that is dedicated to offering premium cigars in Europe. The Dalay Nicaragua cigar is one of their initial forays into the US market. The cigar features an all-Nicaraguan filler made of leaves from Jalapa, Esteli, Pueblo Nuevo, and Massatepe, which are regions in this Central American country that are known for exquisite tobacco. The filler is housed in a dual binder made of Brazilian Arapiraca and Ecuadorian Corojo ’98 leaves, which is then covered by an Ecuadorian Corojo ’98 wrapper. The cigar delivers a medium bodied smoking experience that appeals to both traditional and contemporary aficionados. The cigars are handmade by Luciano Tobaccos in Nicaragua.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Corojo
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuadorian Corojo features the spicy bite of standard Corojo with the added smoothness found in Ecuadorian tobacco. Typically dark brown in color, Ecuadorian Corojo is one of the most flavorful wrappers available, and often has an oily sheen with minimal veins.
Binder
Brazil
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Brazil grows tobacco from North to South. The East Central State of Bahia is an important cigar tobacco producer. The growing area is about 100 miles west of the state capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active port on the Atlantic Coast. The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a production around the city of Arapiraca where maduro wrappers are grown. The Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina produce tobacco for cigarettes and pipe.
Ecuador
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow binders, because it is located on the Equator and it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type binders to many cigar factory in the world.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
