Southern Draw to Release Manzanita This Weekend
Southern Draw is celebrating the origins of tobacco as well as the anniversary of the company’s co-founders this weekend with the launch of its newest line, Manzanita.
Details about the tobaccos in the blend are somewhat limited, as the countries of origin aren’t being disclosed, while the varietals are. The wrapper is a habano hybrid leaf, the binder is a habano leaf, and the filler contains pelo de oro, corojo 99, and ligero, according to a press release. It is made at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A., and will be offered in a x 6 x 52 toro vitola for the launch, while a robusto and gordo are slated to be added in 2021. Manzanita is a regular production line, though the company is forecasting annual production for 2021 to be a total of 180,000 cigars, divided evenly among the three sizes.
