History
Originally, the Havana Soul was created by Mitchell Hirsh and Don Pepin Garcia. Garcia oversaw manufacturing of the cigar at the El Rey de los Habanos factory located in Little Havana, a Cuban-American neighborhood in Miami, Florida. They discontinued Havana Soul in 2007. Hirsh used the same blend of tobaccos and collaborated with A. J. Fernandez to recreated the Havana Soul. Now it is manufactured at the Tobacalera Fernandez factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.[3]
Flavor
Havana Soul is a medium to full-bodied blend. The filler is a blend of Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo tobaccos, and the wrapper is a Corojo '99.
