Olmec

Although the wrapper appears lighter, this Olmec Claro carries the flavor heft of San Andrés: cacao and dark espresso sit front and center while cedar, baking spices and a nutty sweetness move through the midsection. The fillers receive extended bale‑age and the construction is intentionally dense—many sizes are box‑pressed and feel tightly packed in hand. Strength is squarely medium‑full, with pepper and a dry earthy backbone showing on the finish and retrohale. In short: the claro color belies a savory, toothy San Andrés personality with pronounced cocoa and coffee notes.

Olmec Maduro is the darker twin to the Olmec Claro—a San Andrés Negro wrapper over Nicaraguan capote and fillers that favors concentrated cocoa and coffee flavors. The slow fermentation and extended bale‑age treatments drive a firm, oily maduro surface and a flavor set of dark chocolate, espresso, toasted cedar and earth, with pepper on the retrohale and occasional toasted‑nut touches. Offered primarily in box‑pressed vitolas, the cigar delivers even burn, satisfying smoke output and a meaty medium‑full presence that pairs San Andrés savory weight with Nicaraguan backbone.
