A Rare Cigar Appears! Viva Republica has developed a Culebra (a 3 braid panetela) that, unlike other Culebras, features 3 different Viva Republic Blends. From Cigar Aficionado, "One of the panetelas is Viva's Natural Rapture blend, a Cuban-seed Ecuadoran wrapper that covers a Dominican binder and filler tobaccos from Brazil, Nicaragua, Peru and the Dominican Republic. Another cigar is the Maduro Rapture, which is the same blend as the Natural save for wrapper leaf that was grown in Mexico's San Andrés region. The third smoke is Viva's Guerrilla Warfare, which contains filler tobaccos from Brazil, Dominican and Nicaragua, a double binder comprised of Dominican and Mexican leaf, all covered by Ecuador Sumatra wrapper." Not only is it hard enough to find a traditional Culebra on the market, but a Culebra in which each stick is a different blend is a first in my book!
