Leaf by Oscar Maduro Big Johnny 8" * 66

Leaf by Oscar are unique, boutique cigars wrapped in a tobacco leaf to ensure maximum freshness and better aging (no cello wrapper here to interfere with the breathing). The cigars are blended by Oscar Valladares and distributed by Jim Robinson, aka Island Jim. The construction of these sticks is top notch and the presentation makes for an excellent conversation starter. You will be hard pressed to find anything else like this in the market.

The Giant was tipically a 9 inch by 52 cigar. Today, it is every cigar 8 inches and up with a ring gauge of 50 and up.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 8 inches long, or 203.2 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 66, so his diameter is 66/64 inches or 26.16 mm.

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).

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
