Leon Jimenes little cigars are twisted from Connecticut Shade

Premium Leon Jimenes little cigars were launched in 1987. Initially, this was done to perpetuate the great personal contribution of the Jimenez family to the cigar culture of the Dominican Republic and to the development of the La Aurora factory. But soon this line of Leon Jimenes little cigars, with a wide variety of vitols, received great recognition due to its mild taste, as well as a perfectly-balanced and refined aroma.

Leon Jimenes little cigars are twisted from Connecticut Shade, a unique-colored cover sheet grown in the shade of tents. In addition to the American cover, Dominican tobacco is used as a binder, and a bag of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco grown from Cuban seed. These cigarillos are of excellent construction with good traction and even burning. As a result, the aroma and taste of these Leon Jimenes little cigars are constantly evolving during smoking, the smoke is thick and saturated, but the cigarilla is not very strong.

Small, elegant, premium cigars of medium strength at an affordable price. Leon Jimenes little cigars have a mild balanced taste with creamy caramel and cedar shades. By the end of smoking, notes of black pepper appear in taste.

To date, the Dominican cigars, which you can buy in our online shop, are worthy of competition to the legendary brands from Cuba, and even surpass them in some respects.

Dominican cigars are curled by torsedors at factories in several cities of the Republic; it is manual twisting that is the main distinguishing feature of the vitol of this region. It should be noted that not all cigars consist exclusively of Dominican tobacco. Cigars from the Dominican Republic can also contain leaves grown in other countries, shading and ennobling its aroma, creating an original ensemble and a unique game of tastes.

Today, tobacco production from the regions of the republic is 60% of the market. And the World Tobacco Association (MTA) has recognized the Dominican Republic as a global producer and importer of excellent quality tobacco products.
