When Crux Cigars created the Bull & Bear, they wanted to design a cigar that celebrates life's accomplishments. Guess what? They nailed it. The Crux Bull & Bear is a hefty, medium-strength Nicaraguan puro that can only have been made at the world-famous Placencia Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. A Habano Maduro wrapper surrounds the Bull & Bear's Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Bull & Bear is a medium to full-bodied cigar with a flavor profile that is woodsy, chocolatey, and earthy.

Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
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.
