History of San Andres Wrappers:
The history of the San Andres wrapper goes all the way back to 1880. Then Alberto Turrent emigrated from his native Cuban home with a hand-full of Cuban tobacco seeds to Mexico’s San Andrés Valley in Veracruz. The valley is dense with fertile volcanic soil and has a humid climate which lends a unique flavor to all San Andres wrappers.
Mexican cigars were mostly shunned by connoisseurs, but cigars rolled in a Mexican San Andres-grown wrapper leaf have gained in popularity over the last several years. According to Tobacconist University, “The most famous of Mexican cigar tobaccos is San Andres Negro.
History of Connecticut Wrappers:
Tobacco farming in the Connecticut River valley has a long history. When the first settlers came to the valley in the 1630s, tobacco was already being grown by the native population. The town of Windsor is the epicenter of the tobacco industry in Connecticut. The town was founded in 1633 and within seven years it was producing tobacco for personal use and profit. The tobacco being grown was for pipe use, brought up from Virginia since the tobacco variety found in the Connecticut Valley was not as delectable as the Virginian style.
History of Corojo wrapper:
Corojo was originally developed and grown by Diego Rodriguez at his farm or vega, Santa Ines del Corojo and takes its name from the farm, which was located near the town of San Luis in the province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba.Daniel Maria Rodriguez, son of Diego Rodriguez, later perfected the variety Corojo and developed the "Worlds Best Wrapper" until the Communist revolution of Fidel Castro caused the family to leave the country forever. It was Daniel Maria Rodriguez's extreme attention to detail and high level of supervision throughout the entire growing, curing and grading process of the wrapper which led to his success. Corojo wrapper was so highly prized that it stood alone on a global level due mostly to the attention given to it by Daniel Maria Rodriguez.
