Guearra is a small batch production, blended by Abe Flores from Pinar del Rio in the Dominican Republic. At first glance the cigar and it’s packaging looks like it is straight out of Cuba; from the packaging colors and artwork on the box to the wrapper and pigtail of the cigars. The cigars boasts a Criollo 98 Ecuadorian wrapper, a Dominican Habano binder and the fillers are a blend of premium Nicaragua & Dominican tobaccos. It is an very well balance medium bodied cigar that is smooth from head to foot. It has a beautiful mottled wrapper that you can tell has been aged for many years. It is a true Dominican cigar in flavor and it has just a touch of pepper coming from the Nicaraguan tobaccos used in the filler.
