Illusione MJ12 Question

[TJarv]

What wrapper is on the MJ in the silver foil?

[neoflex]

The call it wet packing as the cigars are rolled in foil while still wet. I believe it is also supposed to help the aging process too. The MJ12 is a great stick!

Are they actually wet packed? I could be mistaken, but I thought they went through the normal storage procedure at the factory and then were foil wrapped for looks right before boxing. Dion and his wacky cigar name tie ins, something about "MJ12" referring to the Roswell alien incident investigation team and foil wrapping = foil hats.

I thought this was the case as well. Plus, and I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that for a while they came without the foil due to a sourcing problem. Guess the aliens stole all his foil!

I thought they were wet packed but I could very possibly be incorrect. I would hope that if they were going through the trouble of wrapping them in foil that they would be wet packed but who knows now. time to do some digging.

That's just the country of origin, which could encompass any one of hundreds of different tobaccos.

IIRC, it's a Corojo 99 leaf, taken from the upper viso primings.
