Perla del Mar Shade Double Toro

Perla del Maris a historic cigar brand that has its roots in Cuba. In 1905, four Cuban brothers began rolling cigars by hand using tobacco grown on their family farm in Cuba. They named their company Perfecto Garcia Brothers and called their cigars "Perla del Mar" in reference to the beautiful Caribbean waters that surround Cuba. As the popularity and demand for their cigars grew, the brothers built a large cigar factory next to J.C. Newman's El Reloj factory in Ybor City, Florida. Perla del Mar was one of the leading premium cigar brands in the early 1900s. The new Perla del Mar cigars from J.C. Newman honour the brand's historical heritage.

Tobacco from the lush mountains of Nicaragua

The Perla del Mar Shade consists of special, hand-picked, aged filler and binder tobaccos from four different regions in the lush mountains of Nicaragua: Pueblo Nuevo, La Reina, Condega and Jalapa. This unique blend is combined with a smooth, creamy Ecuadorian shade to create a complex but balanced flavour.

Pressed in Tampa style

The Perla del Mar cigars are pressed in the Tampa style so that the natural flavours of the unique tobacco varieties blend together. This creates a unique smoking experience.
