KISKEYA CIGARS
The tobacco leaves for Kiskeya cigars are harvested and aged using a curing process that combines heat and shade to reduce sugar and water content without causing the larger leaves to rot.
This takes between 25 and 45 days, depending upon climatic conditions and the nature of sheds used to store harvested tobacco. A slow fermentation follows, where temperature and humidity are controlled to enhance flavour, aroma, and burning characteristics while forestalling disintegration.
The Kiskeya leaf will continue to be baled, inspected, un-baled, re-inspected, and baled again during the aging cycle. When it has matured to manufacturer’s specifications it is sorted for appearance and overall quality, and used as filler or wrapper accordingly. During this process, leaves are continually moistened to prevent damage. To this day quality cigars are still handmade, Kiskeya`s included.
Tasting Notes of the Kiskeya Blend
The Kiskeya blend stands apart from the rest with its use of rare tobacco from the South of Dominican Republic. Our cigars open with a creamy, perfumed aroma reminiscent of a lush forest, complemented by rich notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and wood. Expect hints of dried fruits and almonds, delivering a refreshing humidity without overwhelming your palate. With a clean smoke and no bitterness, it strikes a perfect balance.
