Cigars without ligero

Q. Are there any premium cigars blended without ligero tobacco?

A. Although the “standard” recipe for blending premium cigars is comprised of ligero, viso, and seco tobaccos, some mild cigars do not use ligero. However, more and more full-bodied cigar brands are appearing that have no ligero in their blending recipe – which goes to show that, with all the knowledge tobacco growers and blenders have developed over the years, today anything is possible.
