Southern Draw: 300 Hands Maduro Coloniales Cigars

First released at the 2018 IPCPR trade show, Southern Draw's 300 Hands line features a Maduro, Habano, and Connecticut version. These cigars pay homage to the people that make them — the name referring to the approximate number of steps it takes to produce a cigar from seed to shelf. Robert Holt, founder and owner of Southern Draw, considers the making of premium cigars a marriage of art and skill, realized by the dedicated people who hand roll these cigars in Nicaragua. As such, 300 Hands is a celebration of Nicaragua, its people, culture, and rich cigar history, and the line's accessible price point is meant to put quality, premium cigars in the hands of people from all walks of life. Furthermore, Southern Draw has committed to using a percent of all profits from 300 Hands to help local communities in Nicaragua.

Here in the Maduro version, filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic are covered in an Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper and binder from Cameroon. It's a flavorful blend of rich chocolate, subtle spice, leather, and sweet undertones.
