Platino

Our Platino is probably our most quirky cigar. This is a cigar inside of a cigar and we are not kidding! This is a medium-bodied slow burner with some spice, topped off with a little cream, some earth, and notes of coffee.

Our Platino is probably our most quirky cigar. It's normal looking at first glance, but one look at the foot, and you'll know. This is a cigar inside of a cigar and we are not kidding! The Platino starts out as a lancero cigar, constructed with everything you would expect in a hand-rolled cigar, minus the wrapper and cap. From there, we take this lancero and construct another cigar around this "core." We use 2 separate molds to create this beautiful cigar, and it is very difficult to roll - but the result is a cigar with exceptional flavor, a razor-sharp burn, solid white ash, and the perfect draw, firm but not overly firm.

How does a cigar inside of a cigar taste? Well in the case of our Platino, the binder and filler is a blend of tobaccos from Nicaragua, covered in 1 of 3 wrapper leaves - an Ecuadorian Habano, maduro leaf from Brazil, or a Sumatran wrapper from, you guessed it! Sumatra. You have that typical Nicaraguan spice but it's not overbearing. This is a medium-bodied slow-burner good for an hour and a half cigar therapy sesh. Topped off with a little cream, some earth, and notes of coffee, this is a cigar you don't want to miss out on trying.
