Estelí Tobacco
The engine room of Nicaraguan tobacco: black-pepper strength, dark oils, and the ligero that gives full-bodied blends their spine.
From the Blending Table
Estelí’s low, hot valley floor stresses the plant into thick, oil-heavy leaf: the ligero primings here are the strongest workable tobacco in the country. It ferments slow and dark, and a little of it steers a whole blend.
We are headquartered in this soil. Estelí leaf from our own operation anchors most full-bodied blends we roll, balanced against sweeter Jalapa and Condega leaf so power never turns to bitterness.
Where We Use It
