In some industries, five years might not seem like a long time let alone cause for celebration. However, in the fast and furious world of premium cigars, being able to thrive and survive for one-half decade is a great accomplishment. To celebrate this major feat, Daniel Guerrero, cigar shop owner turned cigar crafter from Spain, created the El Viejo Continente 5 Anos as a Salomon (perfecto) which is one of the hardest cigar shapes to roll. This anniversary premium cigar sports a dark Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper expertly placed over a Jalapa, Nicaragua binder and a filler composed of long-filler tobaccos from three of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco producing regions. The El Viejo Continente 5 Anos is a box-worthy cigar that is hand crafted in Nicaragua.
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
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.
