YAGUA

Lazaro Lopez (the manager of J.C. Newman PENSA Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua) would roll cigars into a cigar shape, but did not use a mold, resulting in a rugged style cigar. In place of the mold, the frond of a Yagua tree was used instead. Yagua is a type of royal palm native to Cuba. The cigars are rolled the same way to deliver the rugged style cigar, but utilizing more modern techniques when needed.  This is a Nicaraguan puro.
