Honduran artist Elmer Ciseron Bautista is an acclaimed talent that has had his work featured in over 30 exhibitions around the globe since 1991, and is now bestowing his abilities upon the new Oscar Valladares Ciseron. Known for his huge breakout hit 'Leaf', Oscar's latest line is the first to not contain Honduran tobacco, instead opting for an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper on top of premium Nicaraguan binder and filler. The result is nothing short of extraordinary, with a delectable blend being showcased alongside Elmer Ciseron's unique artwork designed specifically for this release. There will be five separate designs to choose from, but with only 500 boxes of each style being produced, time is certainly of the essence.
