Handcrafted at Rocky Patel’s Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A.

Wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Habano leaf and constructed with dual binders from Nicaragua and Mexico, the Emerald offers a refined flavor journey. Expect a harmonious blend of natural sweetness, baking spices, leather, and a touch of pepper, with evolving complexity from first draw to final ash.

• 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
  Mexico

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Mexican tobacco is primarily grown in the San Andres region due to its volcanic soil. It has a very distinctive flavor with a spicy and earthy profile. As a binder it adds to the cigar’s overall flavor.

  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.
