100% Peruvian Tobacco?!
#1
Yeah, that's right. Tabacalera del Oriente makes them and not only that, but they supply everybody else who uses Peruvian tobacco in their blends.

I just posted an interesting interview with Bruce Zeiler, one of the principals of TdO. It's an interesting story of a start-up tobacco company.

Enjoy!

I forgot to add that, according to Bruce Zeiler, Tabacalera del Oriente is the ONLY company producing tobacco in Peru. Therefore, whenever you see a cigar that has Peruvian tobacco in its blend, it has likely come from TdO.

Other cigars that use Peruvian tobacco in their blend:
CAO Italia
Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial
Padilla Hybrid
El Original (islandsmokeshop.com)
Montecristo Serie C
CAO Mx2

Very interesting doc.  So how would you describe the flavor profile of a peruvian puro made by them?  Is this something I need to seek out now...

 

Of course, we all know the answer to that qustion is YES!Tongue

Short answer, this is a fine stogie. I am very impressed and so are my friends who have smoked them. All the details in my January 6 podcast.
