Description
The Evolución No. 1 redefines cigars with an innovative blend of over five distinct tobacco strains, offering unmatched flavor complexity.
With 11 years of meticulous development and six-year-aged filler, it delivers a rich, consistent smoking experience.
The mixed-filler approach ensures uniform combustion and full flavor, complemented by a medium draw and stable ash.
Its Robusto size balances burning, smoking time, and taste, inviting you to experience true cigar craftsmanship.
The Conneticut Wrapper's Elegance
The wrapper is a cigar's appearance and first impression.
The Connecticut wrapper, in its Class A natural form, offers a smooth, light surface with a stable, uniform color, thanks to its cultivation under sun shades.
When fresh from the fermentation process, it has a surprisingly rich, chocolatey aroma.
We chose the Connecticut wrapper for the Evolución No. 1 not for its appearance alone but for the balance it brings to the cigar.
When smoked, it contributes a light chocolate flavor with subtle, pleasant bitter notes.
These notes enhance the cigar's floral and rich aroma without overpowering it, adding a hint of almond for depth.
Each wrapper leaf is carefully processed and has to pass multiple quality checks, ensuring flawlessness.
Typically, a single leaf can yield two wrappers, cut from both sides of the main vein.
Precision in Picadura Sieving
The filler, or Tripa, forms the core of a cigar and is composed of a carefully selected blend of multiple tobacco strains.
For the Evolución series, the complexity of our blend exceeds what can typically fit within standard cigar sizes (vitolas).
To make this possible, we use a unique process similar to blending, where the tobacco is cut into smaller pieces and sieved to ensure a minimum picadura size of approximately 6.5 cm² (1 square inch).
Our Tabacleros meticulously prepare this picadura, which differs from the traditional picadura that often consists of leftover tobacco.
Instead, this is an intentionally crafted mix designed to be the soul of the Evolución series.
This deliberate approach ensures a consistent and refined smoking experience, delivering the intended complexity and depth of flavor.
