The Southern Draw Manzanita Toro was the first vitola out of the gate for this regular production line, and what could also be called Southern Draw's most ambitious blending project to-date. As Robert & Sharon Holt put it: "A humble effort to share the legacy of traditional tobacco; that is, tobacco and other plant mixtures used by Native Americans for the same reasons as our family, for sacred rituals, ceremony, healing and giving thanks."
The line gets its name from the red, oily, perfectly fermented and aged Habano hybrid leaves that encase this full-flavored cigar's undisclosed tobacco sources. We can tell you that it includes varieties of Pelo d'Oro, Corojo 99, Habano, and, of course, ligero. Why the secrecy? The company doesn't want you to have any preconceived notions prior to your own actual smoking experience. And what a unique taste experience it is. . .All we'll say is, smooth as silk, rich in flavor, phenomenal burn and ash performance, and coincidentally, you may even taste a "little apple" along the way. Add a box to your cart ASAP, as these are sure to take Southern Draw fans, among many other savvy cigar smokers, by storm!
