La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte Toro

Produced in the same factory as Man O’ War Ruination, San Lotano Oval, and New World, La Herencia Cubana CORE is one of the best, pseudo-hidden gems from master blender AJ Fernandez. The name itself means “Cuban heritage” and for good reason: the blend is similar in flavor and complexity to those originating from Cuba’s glory days.

Although it contains similar tobaccos to those found in its Original counterpart, a robust yet smooth concoction of Nicaraguan tobaccos grown in Esteli, Condega and Jalapa, the blend stands out due to its oily broadleaf maduro wrapper grown in Pennsylvania. The combination creates a ton of sweet characters masked by earth, pepper, spice and cedar with a phenomenal finish that leaves espresso and cocoa on the palate.
