Blanco NINE Robusto

The Blanco NINE cigar is crafted using the finest Oscuro Corojo wrapper grown in Nicaragua, which has been aged for at least three years, resulting in a perfectly matured flavour.

The NINE is no ordinary cigar, as it features an exquisite binder from Nicaragua’s world-famous Jalapa Valley. To achieve its complex and full-bodied flavour, three different Ligero leaves from various Nicaraguan tobacco varieties are used as the filler, ensuring a smooth draw and rich clouds of smoke.

Aroma

As you light the cigar, you’ll be greeted by notes of wood and cocoa. Later, earthy, coffee and spicy notes take centre stage.

In summary, the NINE from Blanco Cigars is a must-try if you’re looking for an exceptional smoking experience. The expertly blended mix and mature flavour ensure a full-bodied smoke that will delight you. So, the NINE is actually a ten!

About Blanco Cigars

The Blanco Cigar Company was founded in the United States in 1998. However, the family’s history and roots in the tobacco industry can be traced back to Cuba’s westernmost province, Pinar del Río. For over 20 years, the Blancos have been working alongside their cousins from Cuba, the Plasencia family, where production also takes place.

The Blanco Cigar Company’s head office and North American distribution centre are located in Clearwater, Florida. The Blanco family believes in a strong, family-oriented business, and as such, a large part of the family is involved in one aspect or another of the company.

Production is overseen by David Blanco, who has been blending cigars for over 22 years. The efficiency with which the factory operates is unrivalled. As you walk through the halls, “you are overcome by an almost harmonious tranquillity”. These are just some of the many feelings and emotions described by visitors whom David has shown around the factory. The reasons for this feeling are simple: QUALITY, TRADITION and VALUE. These are the three principles by which the family lives, and when you’ve been doing something for as long as the Blanco and Plasencia families have, you have what it takes to to grow tobacco of exceptional quality, craft superb cigars in accordance with time-honoured TRADITION, and offer them on the market at excellent value for money.
