Before entering the cigar industry, one of the founders, Rafael Nodal, tried to start a music career in New York, but failed to succeed in the music field. Later, he met his current partner Hank Bischoff and established a website to sell cigars in 1998. Different product lines of its brands are all produced by different cigar factories. This Nicaraguan Passion is produced by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua, and the wrapper, binder and filler are all made of Nicaraguan tobacco. The 50 ring gauge makes every puff full of rich flavor, from wood and dark chocolate to sweet caramel and almond flavor. The overall suction is smooth and the combustion is even. It has received a high score of 92 in Cigar Aficionado.
