Overview
La Tribu ("The Tribe") is a special cigar project that was years in the making. This project involved the collaboration with some of the best tobacco experts from both Cuba and the rest of Latin America. The goal was to examine closely the way cigars are produced by studying years of research from the Cuban and American cigar markets.

The creation of this unique cigar involved the use of traditional and modern techniques, and deep, open discussions from many schools of thought. Our group from Atlantic Cigar was one of the first to be granted complete access to all of Cuba's cigar facilities and to their prestigious Tobacco Institute (Instituto de Investigaciones del Tabaco). Our team spent countless hours studying, learning and developing a specific approach for the creation of this cigar. The result is a cigar that is reminiscent of the great Cuban cigars of the past with a modern day twist using the very best tobaccos grown today. The result is a cigar with a flavor profile that is a combination of Cuban, Nicaraguan and Dominican. This was accomplished with the help of top blends from each of these countries.

The blend is comprised of an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Dominican binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos. The cigars were minimally processed using natural techniques, then aged in cedar cabinets. The true flavors of the tobacco are allowed to shine, never sacrificing flavor for appearance and never altering the true natural essence of the tobacco.

The highest levels of quality control are incorporated in the production of this cigar from draw testing to weighing each cigar. The focus of La Tribu is quality over quantity, done in small batches to ensure perfection.

Medium Bodied - Full Flavor
The La Tribu line is an ultra boutique cigar that has been created with the help of some of the world’s best tobacco experts from Cuba, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The flavor profile of the La Tribu cigar is very unique, presenting flavors reminiscent from each of these countries. A solid cigar that’s extremely well constructed, each finished with a special triple cap head. The cigar is a full flavored smoke with a lot of balance that delivers medium to full bodied strength which is only noticeable while it progresses, and not on the back of the throat with some full bodied smokes that are using young under fermented tobacco in order to achieve solely strength. Good amounts of woody notes with underlining spiciness with some notes of fruit and jam with a wonderful aromatic bouquet. As the cigar progresses it delivers leather notes with a creamy character with the strength starting to present itself. The indication of a good tobacco and a cigar that’s properly blended, a symphony of flavors balanced with strength much like a good Cuban cigar of the past.  Each size delivers a slightly different flavor profile vigorously blended on a size by size basis, rather then creating one blend and constructed an array of sizes, this helps showcase the tobaccos and the ratio used. We are happy to offer the La Tribu cigars, it has been a long journey, the result of enormous effort put forth by numerous friends in the cigar industry, enjoy. A special thanks to the Cuban Instituto de Investigaciones del Tabaco and the late Alejandro Robaina & Maurice Koks.
