The Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone Natural is a line extension for the company, featuring a Nicaraguan puro blend that represents the brand's commitment to boutique craftsmanship. This boutique ultra-premium cigar is comprised of aged tobaccos from multiple Nicaraguan growing regions, wrapped in a chocolatey Nicaraguan Habano tobacco with a spicy Nicaraguan binder and core filler tobaccos from Condega and Jalapa. The cigar delivers notes of earth, black pepper and cream with a medium to full-bodied strength.
Manufactured at Tabacalera Carreras in Estelí, Nicaragua, under the management of Craig Cunningham since the early 2000s, this cigar embodies Esteban Carreras' philosophy of traditional Cuban rolling techniques combined with premium Nicaraguan terroir. The blend features an H-wrapper from Nicaragua with a binder from Jalapa and tobaccos from Nicaragua's prime growing regions of Jalapa, Condega, and Estelí. The vitolas were first introduced in the USA in 2018, representing the brand's continued evolution in the premium cigar market.
Professional reviews describe the smoking experience as delivering nuances of coffee, sweetness, nut, and butter with a fine spice component. The Natural variant is distinguished by a brown silk band on the foot, differentiating it from the original Mr. Brownstone which features a black silk band.
