• Cigar Shape
  Toro

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

  6"

  This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.
• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Their Miami headquarters house 12 rollers that make all of the company's "handmade in Miami" brands.
• Cigar Wrapper
  USA Connecticut Broadleaf

  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.
• 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.
