Filler

Nicaraguan Estelí ligero & viso; Honduran Jamastran viso and La Entrada ligero

Intención is a deliberate shift toward weight: larger ring gauges, a San Andrés surface and a filler mix built to favor ligero‑driven presence. The Mexican San Andrés wrapper gives a savory, darker top note while the layered filler—pulled from Nicaragua and Honduras—supplies body and balance. Expect an immediate, savory opening of dark chocolate and leather with a baking‑spice edge that carries through the smoke. Draws and burn reports point to steady delivery in the three core formats, and the profile leans dense and textured rather than syrupy—peppered spice and finishing bitterness keep sweetness in check. The blend’s distinct move is simple and effective: San Andrés leaf plus heavier primings for modern, fuller‑gauge La Gloria flavor.
