Filler

Nicaraguan Condega, Nicaraguan Esteli, Nicaraguan Jalapa

Nicaragua is built around the peppery structure and tannic backbone of Nicaraguan leaf, softened and clarified by a Jamastrán wrapper. The profile moves from upfront pepper and leather into toasted‑nut and vanilla warmth with coffee and dark‑chocolate accents later. It's a straightforward, workmanlike expression of Nicaraguan character that favors clarity and steady burn.
