Description

Floral notes, wheat, baking spice, and a bold peppery finish define the Independence Firecracker, a compact cigar that delivers a surprisingly complex medium to full-bodied experience. Built for a quick but impactful smoke, this limited release balances Dominican and Nicaraguan ligero with a rich Mexican San Andres/ Habano hybrid wrapper to create a flavorful cigar with plenty of character.

Part of the long-running Firecracker series that began in 2007, the Independence Firecracker celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States through the continued partnership between United Cigars and Arnold André. Rolled in the Dominican Republic, the blend features Dominican and Nicaraguan ligero fillers, a Dominican binder, and a Mexican Habano wrapper. Packaged in collectible tins of 12 featuring “Land of the Free” and “Home of the Brave,” the tin even converts into a personal ashtray once the cigars are enjoyed. A limited release created for a historic milestone, the Independence Firecracker is both a celebration and a collector’s piece.

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.

Cigar Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Cigar Binder
Dominican Republic
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.
Cigar Filler
Dominican Republic
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
