Nestor Plasencia - one of Central America's top cigar makers and the world's single largest grower of Cuban-seed tobacco — rolls this unique project that carries quite a bit of personal significance. Introducing Cuba Libre and Cuba Libre ONE, named for the desire all expats want to see come to fruition. As a younger man, Nestor was driven out of Cuba and his tobacco, farms, and factories were confiscated by Castro. He often talks of one day returning to a "free Cuba" to continue his family's five-generation tobacco tradition.
Despite the fact Nestor's factories are responsible for crafting most of Rocky Patel's blends and the Alec Bradley MAXX, among others, this passion project is considered to be two of the most extraordinary releases from his operation in Nicaragua. From now through August 19th, receive FREE SHIPPING on all box purchases of the original Cuba Libre and the Cuba Libre ONE blends.
Cuba Libre is characterized by its medium-bodied, earthy, leathery nuances that present a chewy texture, and an enjoyably long finish. The interplay of ample spicy notes with a subtle sweetness brings forth a complexity that can only be found in cigars crafted of 100% Cuban-seed tobacco. Cuba Libre ONE is suited to those who prefer bolder blends with intense notes of pepper, coffee, and an earthy-sweet finish. Another all Cuban-seed tobacco blend, but this time with two Habano binders – one grown in Costa Rica, the other Nicaragua — this cigar makes a long-lasting impression.
