Filler

Habano Dominicano

This is a true Habano puro: wrapper, binder and filler come from Habano Dominicano, giving the line a compact, toasted tobacco profile rather than tropical or grassy Dominican flavors. Rolled at Tabacalera Palma in Santiago under Jochy Blanco, the cigars show medium‑brown, slightly oily wrappers and a denser mouthfeel. Available sizes are Robusto (5 x 48), Toro (6 x 54) and Belicoso (6 x 52). Smoking character tracks from early nuttiness and cream into richer cocoa and leather as the stick opens; a lively pepper and toasted‑almond finish keeps the backbone taut. Reviewers also note touches of nutmeg, cedar and cream through the thirds. Samples occasionally display construction or burn variability, which can change how the pepper and acidity present in the middle and final thirds.
