CRAFTSMANSHIP · ESTELÍ

Attention is an art.

Wrapper, binder, filler. Three leaves, rolled by hand, under the eye of our Master Blender, Luis Antonio Rivera Bellorin.

THE HAND AND THE LEAF
01

Wrapper · Capa

The face of the cigar and up to half its flavour. We work with Connecticut and Cameroon from Ecuador, Habano and dark Maduro from Nicaragua, and San Andrés from Mexico.

02

Binder · Capote

The hidden leaf that holds the filler in shape and governs the burn — for our Special Edition, an Indonesian Capote.

03

Filler · Tripa

The heart. Whole leaves, folded by hand, never chopped. Ligero for strength, Seco for aroma and balance, Viso for body.

01

Full leaf, always.

We use full leaves — not scrap or short filler — to ensure the best quality in every cigar. A long-filler cigar draws evenly, holds its ash and develops across all three thirds.

02

Tuned by hand.

Each signature profile is a starting point. Our blender adjusts proportions of Ligero, Seco and Viso to raise or soften strength without losing balance.

03

Time, the final ingredient.

After rolling, cigars need rest. We recommend 4–6 weeks of aging under proper temperature and humidity so residual ammonia dissipates and flavours fully marry.
