• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

• Origin
  Nicaragua

Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Habano

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has become one of the most used cigar wrappers in the market. Grown primarily by the Oliva family, this tobacco originated from Habano or H2000 seeds brought to Ecuador from Cuba. This leaf is rich and flavorful thanks to the temperate climate of Ecuador and the quality of its volcanic soil.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

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