From barn to bench

Filler Leaves

Filler leaves undergo:
50 days of air curing in the Barn and 25 to 30 days of fermentation in the Sorting House. The leaves are then taken to the Stripping House to be moistened and hand-stripped of their center vein. A second fermentation then takes place of at least 45 to 90 days. A third fermentation is reserved for exceptional cigars, such as Edición Limitadas and Cohibas to further develop and enhance the flavours and aromas.

Wrapper Leaves

Wrappers or Shade-grown leaves undergo:
25 days of air curing, a minimum of 30 days fermentation and at least
6 months of ageing.
