Wrappers and binders have been covered already in this thread as they are quite common. As a filler tobacco, currently American grown cigar filler is very distinct and can be overpowering, making it interesting to work with. Also, it's bloody expensive compared to filler tobacco grown in central America/DR.


One more manufacturer who has some good cigars with American tobacco for filler
