Filler
Nicaraguan
Umbagog was conceived as a no‑frills, outdoor‑ready Broadleaf cigar: thick Connecticut Broadleaf capa over Nicaraguan binder and filler, bundled for use rather than display. The profile is workmanlike—earth and coffee/espresso up front, dark cocoa and toasted nuts through the body, with black pepper and cedar on the finish. Construction favors durability and steady performance over polish; the Bronzeback subvariant uses lower‑priming Broadleaf (2LS) to increase pepper and meatiness, nudging some offerings toward medium‑full behavior while keeping the line’s utilitarian intent intact.
