Nica Rustica Belly 7"1/2 * 54

Nica Rustica by Drew Estate is made with pride by their artisans in Esteli, Nicaragua with native Nicaraguan tobaccos from Esteli and Jalapa in the filler, a Mexican San Andres Negro for binder, and a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The brand portrays a mythical Nicaraguan figure, the "With Doctor" or "El Brujito" which was found carved in stone from the pre-Colombian civilization and is now portrayed in Nicaragua throughout their art and culture.

The Torpedo was traditionally a fat cigar with two closed, tapered ends. Today, it is any cigar with a cut foot and straight body which tapers to a closed, pointed head.

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

This cigar is 7"1/2 inches long, or 190.5 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 54, so his diameter is 54/64 inches or 21.34 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.

Drew Estate was founded in 1998 by New Yorkers and friends Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel. Their dream to make great cigars has turned into one of the best success stories in the industry, and their factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, called "La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate" is today one of the five largest premium cigar factories in the world.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.

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.
