Cumpay Viva el Puro!
In 1999, Maya Selva created the Cumpay brand. These cigars are composed exclusively from Nicaraguan tobaccos. The additional challenge was learning to work with the much fuller-bodied and stronger tobaccos (compared to Flor de Selva) grown in the northwestern Jalapa Valley on volcanic soil. This gives the Puro series its expressive notes of roasted coffee, leather, and hazelnut. The wrapper is grown from H-2000 seed in the Estelí Valley, which not only enhances the blend but also gives the cigar an oily, maple-colored appearance. Incidentally, the name originates from the Tawahka Indians, who once placed their tobacco leaves in pits and protected them with palm leaves. They rolled the fermented leaves into »Puros Cumpay«.
The multiple award-winning Cumpay was crowned the best cigar of the year in 2007, becoming the first Puro from Nicaragua to receive this honor.
Taste: A Puro entirely composed of Nicaraguan tobaccos, with expressive notes of roasted coffee, leather, and hazelnut. Full-bodied, strong, and aromatic.
