Patoro Terre Blanche Gordo 6" * 54

The Patoro Terre Blanche was crafted to celebrate Patoro cigar’s 20th Anniversary. However, instead of calling it an anniversary cigar, the brand opted to name the cigar in honor of the white earth (Terre Blanche) found in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. This soil is rich in calcium, which gives it a lighter color. It is also an excellent place for growing premium tobacco. The cigar sports a tasty Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper placed over a binder and filler grown in the Cibao Valley. Prior to rolling, the tobaccos are aged for five to eight years. The cigars are handmade by De Los Reyes Cigars in the Dominican Republic.

The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring gauge.

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

This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
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.

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.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.

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

Augusto Reyes is a family owned and operated cigar manufacturer that is headed by Augusto Reyes and his daughter Nirka. The Reyes family has been in the tobacco and cigar industry for more than one and a half centuries. Their factory is located in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.

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.

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.
