When Southern Draw Cigars was founded, they had two goals in mind. The first was to create a memorable cigar with a great draw, and a nice even ash. The other goal was to make a cigar that would go well with boutique wines or craft beers. The Kudzu, Southern Draw’s debut cigar, surpasses both goals. Handmade at AJ Fernandez’s Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, the Kudzu is a full-strength premium cigar that features a double-fermented Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, an Ometepe binder, and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. Once rolled the Southern Draw Kudzu is expertly aged to bring out its rich, full-bodied flavors of cedar, cocoa, and spice.

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.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Habano
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has become one of the most used cigar wrappers in the market. Grown primarily by the Oliva family, this tobacco originated from Habano or H2000 seeds brought to Ecuador from Cuba. This leaf is rich and flavorful thanks to the temperate climate of Ecuador and the quality of its volcanic soil.
Binder
Ometepe
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Ometepe is a volcanic island in Lake Nicaragua, which grows tobacco in small quantities. The area’s nutrient rich volcanic soil is known to give Ometepe tobacco its sweet, earthy taste.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
AJ Fernandez
Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

Martin S.06/01/2026About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Good cigar

Jeremy H.09/02/2025About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Decent solid stick overall. I didn't find it as strong as some, maybe medium full and cedary. Not my favorite southern draw but I wouldn't turn it down either.

Jesus B.04/07/2025About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

my Favorite from SD!! amazing value

Marc G.10/19/2024About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Good cigar. Was expecting to like more given Habano wrapper, Ometepe binder, and Corojo/Criollo/CT Broadleaf filler, but only found average with rather unique and somewhat off-putting grapefriut flavor. Strongly prefer SD’s Jacob’s Ladder and Firethorn

Christopher C.07/02/2024About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

This is a solid cigar. Very strong rich flavor. Leathery and peppery. I tried one at a cigar lounge and bought a box on Neptune after.

Z01/16/2024About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Very nice experience

Brett F.01/03/2024About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

This is the first Southern Draw I have tried. I will be trying more as this is a really solid smoke. Great draw, burn and taste.

Jeffrey S.10/11/2023About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Good, smooth medium strong. final third is best.

Vivian B.10/03/2023About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Nice stick

Mismel F.05/29/2023About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

exquisite! Excellent! All the parameters that can be measured are of more than 90 points

Troy P.05/19/2023About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Good stick overall. Not great but good. Likely to revisit this one. Peppery & spicy but in a very good way, complexity to that spice as opposed to some cigars which are spicy & peppery but one dimensional in that flavor note.

Francisco T.11/15/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

strong and peppery

Jeremy H.09/11/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

My first Southern Draw and I enjoyed it. Burn required a little babysitting but a nice draw and lasted me a good hour and half. Started off with a strong kick of chili pepper that mellowed a bit but remained throughout. Tasty stick that has me excited to try the other southern draws I purchased...

Aaron M.07/15/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

A truly amazing smoke. I’d reach for this smoke over just about any other. Southern Draw cigars is an amazing company that is putting out amazing products in collaboration with their partners.

Mark A.05/28/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Great full bodied smoke. Would recommend on flavor. Had some trouble with tunneling but that was likely due to higher humidity storage.

james n.03/11/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

this was my first from southern draw, and it made me want to try the rest of them. good flavor.

Angel G.03/04/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Flavorful notes of cedar, cocoa, and spice will have you coming back for more.

Jason B.02/12/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Good cigar. Good spice notes to it.

Dan B.02/06/2022About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Good looking stick with nice burn line draw and ash. Tastes were solid with a very oily mouth feel which I love. This was not my favorite southern draw but will probably be worth smoking again

Edward E.11/23/2021About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Excellent cigar. One of the best in the southern draw catalog.

Stephen S.10/21/2021About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

michael E.03/12/2021About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

????

Anthony M.03/09/2021About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Medium plus body. Boxpressed with slightly tight draw. Sublte notes of earth and some spice.

Timothy M.02/22/2021About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Very good flavor transitions and spice throughout. Definitely the price and time. However a very large band.

Jeffrey David G.01/19/2021About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Very enjoyable cigar with great presentation. No valid concerns with the burn, did hit a stem in one that imbalanced the burn. Very unique flavor with a twinge of sweetness like blackberry or a Malbec grape. I hesitate to call this full flavored, maybe tempered close to full, but it bears a compelling unique flavor similar to Sancti Spiritus, could be some in the binder. I think this cigar is a notch below 90, will buy again. I am new with the Southern Draw label and have enjoyed everything I have tried so far. Well done!

Pedro H.12/11/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Strong peppery stick, if you like pepper this is for you!!

ABDUS M.12/11/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

This is a good stick

Eric S.11/11/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Not bad.

Francisco T.11/10/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

It's done by AJ so expect lots of spice, specially on the retrohale, great cigar though.

Claudia M.11/03/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Everything done by southern drawl it’s always worth getting.

Jim S.09/11/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

No wonder it tastes so good, another AJ side project! Great flavor throughout the entire smoke. A great boutique offering, including the other cigars in SD's line, esp Jacob's Ladder and Firethorn.

George G.08/08/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Good smoke.

Rodney J.06/05/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

I enjoyed this cigar it is box worthy.

Aric A.06/01/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Great smoke

James M.05/13/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Smooth and sweet. Cream and cocoa

peter r.03/25/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

I like the pepper kick... one had severe burn issues. But when it doesn't good kick of flavours.

Timothy P.03/17/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Decent smoke that I will keep in my humidor rotation, however I made the mistake of smoking the Firethorn the day before which drastically overshadowed the Kudzu. Listed as a full strength but I would rate closer to a medium.

Adir K.02/01/2020About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

nice stong smoke. bit of uneven burn. great deep strong savory and smoky notes with some nuts and black pepper on the retrohale. makes me want to try the other offerings in this line for sure

Maria E.12/15/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Great cigar! Perfect construction and draw.

William R.12/06/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Decent cigar. I prefer the Kudzu with tapered end.

Benjamin M.11/18/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Strong performance from a good-looking stick (armchair-leather brown with some veins on the wrapper, nice look). Lots of mellow chocolate (baker's, not sweet), woody-ness, earth. Very well balanced and medium bodied. A solid performance. Not sure I'd buy again vs. others in similar price range (e.g., Oliva Serie V Maduro, MiQuerida, etc.), but worth a try if you've not had it yet.

ricardo b.10/01/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

A must have.

Chuck V.09/13/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

This one here is something special, you get all the good stuff when you smoke this one. Chocolate, cedar, pepper, herbs of some kind. I’ll be ordering more !

AJ B.09/03/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Very good stick. I'd buy again

Geo S.08/12/2019About: Southern Draw Kudzu Robusto 5"1/2 * 54

Strong peppery in beginning and excellent till the end

Andrew V.11/18/2018About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Very good cedar notes. Cigar went out on me a few times. Draw remained tight even after I used a cigar poker.

Ozzie H.11/16/2018About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

Great cigar

Stewart H.11/16/2018About: Southern Draw Kudzu Toro 6" * 52

A very nice peppery smoke with enough leather and coffee for balance
