Making a Straight Ligero Cigar

Understanding the Leaf

The Ligero leaf comes from the top of the tobacco plant that is in direct exposure to the sun. This exposure not only thickens the leaf but also darkens it which makes this leaf is the fullest flavored and slowest burning of all tobaccos.

Ligero Discovered

Esteli Ligero is the strongest of all the Ligeros. It is used with care as it can overpower the other fillers in a cigar.

Condega Ligero is a medium body Ligero that is grown further north of Esteli, Nicaragua. While still a very full body leaf, it’s more tame strength exhibits complex richness.

Jalapa Ligero the smoothest of the Ligeros. Jalapa is the northern most tobacco region of Nicaragua and is grown in a valley where the less direct sun results in a full body leaf with a more noticeable range of flavors.
