La Bieja Habana "Fumas" Toro Tubos

The cigar fiends at Drew Estate have done their part to reinvigorate the cigar industry. With the release of several unique brands of cigars, including Acid and Subculture lines, they’re renowned for creating high quality, premium smokes that come with shapes and names as unusual and creative as the blends themselves. We have them to thank for bringing back this brand, which has appeared and disappeared from the market a few times before being delivered from inconsistency and lackluster. First on the market in 1994, the cigar was made in New York, and later (’96-98) made in Miami. For 4 years it vanished from the scene until 2002 when our friends brought it back with a vengeance. Now handmade in Esteli, Nicaragua, the La Vieja Habana "Fumas" series offers an Ecuadorian-grown Cuban Corojo wrapper and a filler blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos grown in the nutrient-rich soils of the Esteli and Jalapa Valleys of Nicaragua. Slow-burning and cool-smoking, these rich and flavorful smokes reveal gentle notes of spice and earthy flavors throughout. An enhanced variety, the individually sealed tubos (featured here), were released in 2004 and offer a lighter, creamier smoke with an abundance of smooth, tasty flavors. Expect swirls of billowing light grey smoke to fill the air as you enjoy this stogie with morning coffee or a mild cabernet.
