The Ave Maria Barbarossa is a medium strength cigar that sports a delicious red-hued Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper expertly draped over a Nicaraguan binder and a filler composed of leaves from Honduras and Nicaragua. Once lit, this exceptional blend delivers warm coffee, earthy, and woody notes accented with hints of spice. The Barbarossa is part of the Ave Maria brand, which is known for creating Cuban-inspired cigars. It is handmade at AJ Fernandez's Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua.
