Description
A potent yet smooth cigar with a rich earthiness, touches of cocoa, spice, and an overall meatiness. Its rustic Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Handmade in Nicaragua at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. The El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Octo Ocho Culebra is made of three long panatela cigars (7"*38) that are twisted together and resemble three entwined snakes. To protect its unique configuration, the cigars are nested in a wooden coffin. Be sure to pull the cigars apart prior to smoking. “Culebra” is Spanish for snake, and “El Pulpo” is Spanish for “the octopus”.

my first culebra. was a fun experience that I was able to share with some buddies. the histopry behind the culebra was fun to learn, and figuring out what to do with it was as well. the el pulpo series by AJF is a great smoke in any shape.
