Ligero Wrapper

Krieg

Anyone know of or ever smoked a cigar that has a Ligero wrapper?

The Ruination has a ligero wrapper. Since the Ruination has it, the MoW SE also has it. The Cain F has it too, I believe. Tatuaje Thermonuclear is 100% ligero, so I'd think that has it too.

Diesel Unlimited has a ligero wrapper. I just got some and they are resting.

Thanks for the info guys...I would love to have a chance to smoke that Tat one day, but if they only made a 100 of them, guess that won't happen.

Not many people using ligero for wrappers or binders especially. It is very heavy and when you make a cigar with such heavy tobacco, you have combustion problems. However, the flavor is great so a lot of people will look past burn problems in trade for flavor. That said, it is also extremely expensive to use ligero, especially wrapper. Consider that in a harvest, only 10% of your yield is ligero and only 10% of your yield is wrapper grade. That means roughly in a typical harves there is only about 1% ligero wrapper grade.

This info is what prompted me to ask the question on which cigars had the wrapper, a wrapper that is so rare and harvest, etc, I really wanted to try a cigar with it. I knew the MoW Ruination used an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, but had no idea it was from the Ligero priming.

I smoked a Diesel unlimited Torpedo last night and it didn't have a single burn problem! It was damn good too. Too bad I was outside in shorts and it was cold. I would enjoyed it more if I had jeans on or had a firepit.

How about the La Flor Dominicana...?

The Double Espresso from Graycliff has been my favorite for around a year, can't get enough of them. It boasts that it has "extra ligero for a premium full bodied flavor".
