Master blender and overall cigar enthusiast Daniel Guerrero met Tabacos Costas master blender Emiliano Lagos and set out to create a new and refined cigar that would showcase the intense flavor Guerrero found in Emiliano's previous work. This project became El Viejo Continente, or 'the old continent'. Handmade in Nicaragua, El Viejo Continente Classic is a medium to full-bodied cigar featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and premium Nicaraguan binder and filler for a rich and complex smoking experience only two bonafide tobacco experts could conjure up.
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.
Strength
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
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.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

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.
Binder

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.

The El Viejo Continente Maduro cigar is what happens when two great blenders put their heads together. Daniel Guerrero, a cigar enthusiast and master blender, had a strong desire to capture the tradition of Old World European cigar culture. When he met Emiliano Lagos, a cigar manufacturer and manager of the Tabacos Costa factory in Nicaragua, he realized the two shared the same goals. It was then that the El Viejo Continente was born. Its Mexican San Andres wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder and Nicaraguan Ligero filler are expertly blended to create a full bodied cigar and rich and complex smoking experience. Relive a bit of traditional European cigar history by adding the El Viejo Continente to your humidor.
