Advanced Warfare is a brand new follow-up to the existing and very popular Guerrilla Warfare line that made its debut at the 2015 IPCPR Convention with two sizes that match the Guerilla Warfare, Petite Corona and Corona. Advanced Warfare keeps the same colorado Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper as the Guerrilla Warfare but there is a total change in binder and filler leaves, making it a much different and more potent cigar. The Advanced Warfare has a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a filler blend that includes leaves from Mexico, Nicaragua, and the United States. The Advanced Warfare is more full bodied than the Guerilla Warfare. While many companies keep the same filler blends and change the wrapper, Jason Holly, owner of Viva Republica went a different direction.The packaging is similar as Guerrilla Warfare as Advanced Warfare will also be in 50 count boxes. The banding is similar, but it uses a bright yellow and black scheme instead of a green and black scheme.The Advanced Warfare is also made at Guillermo León's La Aurora factory in Santiago, the oldest in the Dominican Republic dating back to the 1930's. His grandfather, Eduardo León Jimenes, founded the factory and initially produced cigars for the Dominican market. Guillermo Leon has welcomed Jason Holly introducing innovations in the cigar industry and using leaf grown outside the Dominican Republic. All Viva Republica cigars are unique and at a reasonable price point.
