Each of these Habanos has been made “Totally Handmade with Long Filler” using selected wrapper, filler and binder leaves coming from the Vuelta Abajo* plantations, in Pinar del Río*, Cuba*. This region is recognized worldwide as the cradle of what is considered the world’s best tobacco, thanks to its exceptional soils, unique climate and centuries-old tobacco growing tradition.
