During the fermentation process, tobacco leaves generate natural heat. Our Soft Crush Fermentation process adds pressure, a gentle squeeze under weight, that increases the temperature and duration of this naturalheat.  Bitterness sweats out while desired flavors blossom.  That's why Bloodline cigars- made with up to 75% rich ligero leaves - offer truly complex flavor with surprisingly little bite

The Bloodline Blonde is soft as one would expect but it is much more than that.  The binder leaves which are Jalapa from Nicaragua have a natural tendency to be sweet and aromatic but we Soft Crush just the binder leaves in this blend to bring out the aroma and sweetness levels to an unprecedented level.  If you enjoy a smooth yet flavorful top end cigar you will make this your favorite treat after a long day.

When I set out to create a truly different cigar, I knew I had to go about it a different way. I decided to trace the world's best tobaccos back to their original seeds.  On a government -sanctioned educational trip to Cuba, I discovered the original growing fields of Cuba's three most respected tobacco families: Oliva, Perez and Aganorsa (OPA)  The unusually refined qualities of their tobacco plants remain in their seed as they now grow in specific regions of Nicaragua.  The Broadleaf Maduro hits your palate like it is going to be strong in flavor but then backs off leaving the desired intense flavors behind but lets the harshness that usually accompanies this flavor drift away with the smoke.  Try this cigar you'll be amazed.

A cigar made with Habano Rosado wrapper and 75% ligero-leaf filler.. all from the richest OPA-seed tobacco plants...cannot be smooth. But it is.  Amazingly so.  Impossibly so.  It is the blending of such powerful leaves and the careful aging both before and after rolling that brings out the most enjoyable qualities of each leaf, while mellowing their potent characteristics.  from a surprisingly refreshing floral start to a deep, earthen-spiced mid-point, Bloodline OPA delivers unexpected pleasure with every sip.  It is because it shouldn't work that it has never been tried before.  And it is precisely why Bloodline OPA is truly different.
