Oscuro y Rico is a unique blend using the finest PA Broadleaf Seco, Nicaragua Esteli long-filler, and Ecuador Maduro Wrapper. The finished product yields a stout-strength cigar.
The kit includes the following tobaccos…
- Ecuador Maduro Wrapper
- Ecuador Dark Binder
- Hand Tied Nicaragua Orinoco
- Nicaragua Esteli Viso
- Cigar Glue
…enough tobacco to make approximately 18 to 20 – 50 gauge x 7″ cigars
Each type of tobacco is sealed individually to prevent unintentional blending of flavors prior to rolling your cigars. This will ensure that each of the cigars rolled from this kit will be consistent with the rest from the same batch.
There is approximately 1 pound of tobacco in these kits.

Good blend and pretty good price. Flavor is very smooth and mild but plenty strong.
The ratio of wrapper-binder-filler seems a bit off, I was only able to roll 12-14 40×5″ cigars before running out of filler. Leaving me with 4 of each binder/wrapper leaves. I encountered quite a few leaves with multiple holes or a lot of small mold spot, nothing crazy just a leave here or there.
Would recommend this blend, just order some extra filler to reach the 18-20 cigars estimate.

I just made some square pressed cigars with this blend. Of the 3 blends I ordered this one is my least favorite. Flavor is very rich but on the harsher side.
Like all of the blends, I ran out of filler while still having plenty of binder/wrappers left. The binder was very small and thin and was very difficult to wrap nicely, I ended up using binder from a different blend. The wrapper smelled fantastic and is a nice dark color, but It was also very thin and tore in a spots while rolling.
