Description
The Olmecs are the early Americas’ most mysterious and ancient civilization. The Olmecs pre-date the Mayans and Aztecs and are considered the “Mother Culture” of Mesoamerica. They were the first to create mathematically precise calendars, pyramids, and, as far as we know, the first to smoke cigars. The heartland of the Olmecs is located in the tropical lowlands of the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz, Tabasco, and San Andrés Tuxtla. Today, this is the same region that grows some of the finest San Andrés Negro wrapper tobacco. This seed variety is considered one of the oldest in the world.
The blend delivers a full-bodied smoking experience with rich flavors of cacao, dark espresso, and spice without being too aggressive. Size: Robusto 5×50. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.
