The Perla Del Mar Shade delivers a mild but flavorful smoking experience that showcases a silky Ecuador Connecticut wrapper paired with Nicaraguan long-fillers from three distinct growing regions. Flavors are smooth and creamy, featuring sweet woody notes, toast and hints of graham cracker, while notes of bread, straw and lemon become richer with a caramel sweetness. Nilla wafers, peanuts, and toasted bread are the prominent notes at the start, with notes of sweet cream, cedar, and some black pepper spice. In 1905, four Cuban brothers started hand rolling cigars using tobacco grown on their family's farm in Cuba, naming their company Perfecto Garcia Brothers and calling their cigars "Perla del Mar" because of the beautiful Caribbean waters that surround Cuba. This historic brand is being reintroduced by J.C. Newman, manufactured at J.C. Newman PENSA in Nicaragua. The cigars feature special, hand-selected, aged binder and long filler tobaccos from four distinct regions in the lush mountains of Nicaragua: Pueblo Nuevo, La Reina, Condega, and Jalapa. Each cigar features a classic Tampa-style box press that helps the natural flavors of its unique tobaccos to marry together and deliver an extremely satisfying smoke. Perla del Mar received a well-deserved 90-rating and sells for a budget-friendly $6.00 – $7.00. This is a perfect morning smoke to pair with your favorite coffee, making it the perfect choice for a newbie or inexperienced cigar smoker and a great morning cigar. Both the Maduro and Shade versions of the blend were made slightly stronger during the re-blend with new, aged Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.
