DESCRIPTION: The latest cigar from Los Blancos is the NINE, which is a Nicaraguan Puro and is the company's fullest bodied cigar to date. The wrapper is an Oscuro Corojo leaf, while the Binder is from Jalapa and the Fillers are three different Ligeros all grown in Nicaragua.
David Blanco and his good friend Jose Torres, teamed with the Master Blender to produce the Los Blancos NINE. The reason it was named NINE is because it was the ninth blend that was chosen when creating the cigar. In other words, it took them 9 tries to develop the blend they were really looking for.
The Nine comes in 5 different sizes: Today's featured Nine is the 5-inch by 52 ring Robusto.
