CASA CUEVAS PATRIMONIO – TORO

Description

In the 19th century, Juan Cuevas, Spanish immigrant from Santander, began what was to be a family business which now spans four generations. After decades of manufacturing premium cigars for notable brands, it was decided that the time had come to produce and market a high-end, premium cigar that would bear the Cuevas name. Today, Luis Sr. is joined by his son, Luis Jr. in the manufacture and sale of premium, long filler cigars at their factory, Tabacalera Las Lavas, in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

A Honduran corojo wrapper, Ecuadorian habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua, Peru and the Dominican Republic. “Patrimonio is a project that is extremely near and dear to my son Alec and myself,” said Cuevas Jr. via a press release. “When my father left Cuba, he left tobacco behind. Years later, after rebuilding in the U.S.A., he was able to revive our family tobacco history by opening his cigar factory in the Dominican Republic. Because of my father’s perseverance, our family legacy continues to live on.”

We find this cigar to be more medium with notes of earth, sweetness & chili spice.
