Sr. Valdes CigarsThe cigar,
The cigar,
the old way.
Long-filler Honduran tobacco, a dark oily wrapper, and a triple cap finished by hand. Medium to full in body, with cedar, cocoa and a slow, even burn.
The lineup
Six labels, five sizes
Each label comes as a five-size sampler, a pack, and a lacquered box. The green label is rolled in a green candela wrapper and the black in a dark maduro.
From seed to band
How a Sr. Valdes is made
Grown
Leaf is raised organically in Honduran soil and primed by hand, a few leaves at a time.
Cured
Leaves hang in open barns until they turn from green to brown.
Fermented
Stacked in pilones, the tobacco sweats out harshness and deepens in flavour.
Rolled
A torcedor bunches the filler, binds it, and dresses it in the wrapper.
Rested
Finished cigars sit in cedar before they are banded and boxed.
