AF1

A medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan blend wrapped in a dark Corojo leaf, offering earthy, peppery, and cedary flavors with a rich, savory core.

AF2

A fuller, bolder companion to the AF1 built on a darker, oilier wrapper, delivering deeper notes of cocoa, coffee, and black pepper.

Grimalkin

A refined medium to full-bodied blend named for an old word meaning a cat, wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano over Nicaraguan tobaccos for a smooth, cedary, and spicy character.

La Musa

A smoother, more approachable line built around an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, offering a balanced medium-bodied profile with cedar, nuts, and a touch of sweetness.
