An exquisitely made cigar that offers a smooth, medium bodied Natural line with an Indonesian wrapper (darker than most Natural wrappers) and a full bodied Maduro line with a Dominican grown wrapper, Java binder and Dominican grown filler. A consistently outstanding smoke, the maduro line is recommended for the seasoned palate. Cellophane wrapped, boxes of 25. The Black Pearl line is a full bodied cigar. The heart of this cigar is is the most powerful filler leaf - 100% Cuban seed Corojo ligero - a hybrid of the traditional Cuban Criollo black tobaccos. The wrapper, which is extra select Connecticut broadleaf, is coffee black, which classifies Black Pearl as an oscuro. Packed in boxes of 20.
The Black Pearl was named one of Cigar Aficionado's top 50 cigars. Along with a '90' rating, this is what they had to say:
"Dark, oily and alluring, with a superb draw and lovely burn. The cigar is sweet and spicy, with chocolate notes, hints of roasted nuts and earth, and a black coffee finish."
