Bdawg says:  This uses a tobacco called ’Braganca,’ a rare tobacco harvested from a remote region in the Amazonian rain forest.  Braganca may be one of the most elusive tobaccos in the world. After the tobacco is harvested, it’s rolled by hand into tubes and fermented for 6 months. Then, it must be transported by canoe back to the mainland. Additionally, each cigar is finished with a rustic, 100% twisted tobacco ‘band’ that adds another unique touch.

The wrapper is very dark brown and very rustic.  The draw is easy producing a dark gray ash.  The flavor is very unique, smoked meat, pepper, with a slightly sour finish.  (In a good way). The burn was slow and even.  Terrific!
