FROM BARN TO BENCH

Filler leaves undergo: 50 days of air curing in the Barn and 25-30 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 45-90 days. A third fermentation is reserved for exceptional cigars, such as Edición Limitadas and Cohibas to further develop and enhance the flavours and aromas.

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