Crafted with care and consistency, this cigar reflects the philosophy behind The Epitome brand: every cigar should feel like a mini vacation.

The Legacy of San Andrés Tobacco

The San Andrés Valley in Mexico has been producing tobacco since the 1800s. The volcanic soil and humid climate create ideal conditions for growing dense, flavorful leaves. Over time, San Andrés wrappers became famous for their ability to produce dark maduro cigars with natural sweetness and depth.

Today, San Andrés is considered one of the most dependable and flavorful wrapper tobaccos available. Its natural fermentation produces notes of chocolate, espresso, earth, and subtle spice that pair beautifully with premium Dominican fillers.

The Epitome San Andrés Grande showcases this classic wrapper while maintaining balance through expert construction and blending.

Construction and Craftsmanship

The Grande 6x60 vitola is designed for a long, relaxing smoke. The larger ring gauge allows the filler tobaccos to express themselves while the wrapper provides a rich, flavorful foundation.

Each cigar is produced with traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail, featuring:

• Smooth Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper

• Premium Dominican binder and filler

• Expert rolling techniques for even combustion

• Balanced draw and slow burn

The result is a cigar that performs consistently from start to finish.
