“This is a line of cigars that we are truly proud of,” said Spence Drake of La Familia Robaina in a press release. “We leaned on a couple of friends to help out with some of the blends. Adrian Acosta helped blend our Ecuadorian Habano and Esteban Disla of Nica Sueño helped us out with the Mexican San Andres. All of the cigars have over six months of age before hitting the shelves.”
Like the rest of the La Familia Robaina portfolio, the cigars are made at the La Corona factory in Estelí.
