Your cigars start off as tobacco grown on our plantations in the Tubao Valley, La Union, Northern Luzon |
|
|
|
"The leaves are then fermented and aged for 2 years.
|
|
 |
|
Then they are shipped to the factory in San Pedro, Laguna, just south of Manila." |
|
 |
|
At the factory, the bales are taken apart and the leaves undergo quality control procedures where they are placed into varying classifications of wrapper, binder... |
|
 |
|
...and filler. These classifications determine which blend would most suit the leaf. |
|
 |
|
Filler tobacco is wrapped in binder leaf to form the basic cigar. This is then placed in a mold to give them their proper shape. |
|
 |
|
The molds are placed in a press overnight. |
|
 |
|
The tobacco is then hand-rolled into the cigar. |
|
 |
|
The cigars are placed in an aging room to preserve and enhance their flavors.
|
|
 |
|
Meanwhile, your personalised boxes are hand-carved by our team of expert craftsmen.
|
|
 |
|
Your cigars are then branded with personalised ring labels... |
|
 |
|
…And the resulting finished cigars are packaged and sent off to you. |
