Wrapper Series: Best of Mexican San Andres 7-Cigar Sampler

This sampler celebrates the bold character of Mexican San Andrés wrappers, tobacco cultivated for centuries in the fertile San Andrés Valley. Known for its thick, resilient leaf and long fermentation process, San Andrés delivers a naturally sweet, earthy depth. Expect notes of dark chocolate, espresso, pepper, and rich spice layered with a lingering sweetness. The volcanic soil and humid climate of Mexico give this wrapper its signature intensity, making it a favorite for full-bodied, complex cigars.

  Eiroa CBT Maduro

  The Eiroa CBT Maduro name comes from the fact that the three parts of the cigar, wrapper, binder, and filler (in Spanish, Capa, Banda and Tripa) are maduro tobacco. Blended by Christian Eiroa of CLE Cigars at the Aladino factory in Honduras. The leaves are selected from the top primings of the plant making this cigar's flavor intense. Only 150,000 cigars made for the original release in 2014.

  EP Carrillo La Historia

  The second of EP Carrillo’s 2014 new cigar releases, La Historia is born from an inspiration of the Carillo’s family history as cigar makers. This superior box pressed cigar has a chocolate colored Mexican San Andres wrapper, an Ecuadorean Sumatra binder and filler from Nicaragua. EP Carrillo La Historia is medium to full bodied with hints of dark chocolate, leather, black pepper and coffee, and a creamy long finish.

  Herrera Esteli Norteno

  Herrera Esteli Norteno is the long awaited release by Drew Estate with master blender Willy Herrera. A sequel of sorts to the popular Herrera Esteli cigar, which earned a spot in 2013's Top 25 Cigars of the Year, the Norteno is a dark, spicy cigar made with a Mexican San Andres wrapper. The band design features the Guardabarranco, the national bird of Nicaragua, the country where the cigar is produced. Tobacco from Nicaragua also makes up the filler, with a Honduran binder. This earthy, peppery, sweet offering by Drew Estate burns and draws perfectly, offering medium to full body and strength.

  Illusione Maduro

  Illusione Maduro uses San Andres wrapper from Mexico, considered the best maduro leaf in the market. The natural properties of this wrapper give the cigar an earthy sweet aroma and adds spiciness and nuttiness to the core Illusione blend. Illusione maduro is a medium to full bodied cigar made with Nicaraguan filler and binders.

  La Mission by L'atelier

  La Mission, launched in 2015, is the most full bodied release of L'atelier, using a Mexican San Andres wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The blend also includes Sancti Spiritus leaf in the filler, a tobacco grown by the Garcia family in Nicaragua. La Mission is handmade in the Garcia's factory, My Father Cigars.

  Oliva Serie G Maduro

  Oliva's Serie G is recognized as a tasty, dependable and affordable cigar that fits nicely into any time of day. The Serie G Maduro replaces the Cameroon leaf of the original with a dark and oily Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper, bumping up the strength to a solid medium-bodied profile, while maintaining it's ultra smooth and creamy character provided by the premium Nicaraguan binder and filler. Notes of coffee, cocoa and cedar can be found inside this box-pressed beauty, and fortunately, this is one maduro cigar that won't potentially leave you feeling woozy afterward!

  Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro

  Released in 2013, Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro is the follow up to the highly successful Oliva Serie V Melanio. It comprises the same blend as the Serie V Melanio (Nicaraguan Jalapa filler and binder) but swaps the Ecuador Sumatra wrapper for a San Andres Maduro wrapper grown in Mexico. This is a complex, medium to full bodied smoke.
