The El Mago Miami Art Deco Edition cigar was created as a tribute to the grandparents of Nicholas Fusco, the company’s C.E.O. Fusco crafted the cigars in honor of his grandparents especially his grandfather who was fond of smoking cigars. The cigars are medium-bodied and feature an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. They have a Cubanesque flavor profile. The cigars are expertly handmade in Nicaragua. El Mago is Spanish for “The Wizard.” It also represents the first two letters of Nicholas’ grandparents’ names: Maria and Gonzalo Torre. His grandparents were entrepreneurs who faced many challenges in their lives, which they were able to overcome. They owned the James Hotel, an Art Deco hotel, located in Miami Beach, Florida. The hotel is featured on the brand’s logo. Maria and Gonzalo tragically died when their condominium collapsed in 2021.
Cigar 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.

Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
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.
Binder
Broadleaf
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Broadleaf tobacco leaves are known for being large, resilient, thick, and sweetness. Ideally, they are used in the production of maduro cigars and primarily used as wrappers, but they add dimension to a cigar’s flavor profile when used as a binder.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder

Tobacco grown in Sumatra is chiefly used as a wrapper, but it also serves as a great binder. It is flavorful and has a consistent dark color.

The El Mago Mistico cigar offers two firsts in one.

The cigar’s unique blend will appeal to aficionados looking to expand their smoking portfolio.

Wrapper
Cameroon
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Cameroon wrappers are grown in the East part of the country. The growing area spreads over the eastern border, into the Central African Republic. Wrappers are air grown, without fertilizers and pesticides, by small farmers. The average plantation size is about one acre. The seed is originally from Sumatra, introduced in the country just after WWII.
Binder
Ecuador
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow binders, because it is located on the Equator and it has rich soils too.

Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type binders to many cigar factory in the world.

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.
Binder
Corojo
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Corojo tobacco was first developed in Cuba in the 1930s and quickly became popular as the wrapper on some of the best cigars. By the end of the 90s, Cuba stopped growing Corojo because of its susceptibility to pests and diseases. Ironically, Corojo has since become more popular outside of Cuba, as it has been replicated in tobacco farms in Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
