The Nestor 747 is a cigar that was developed out of devotion for the old 'Cuban style' of cigar making. The new Nestor 747 Series II Vintage 1989 is the second generation of the Nestor 747 cigar project and is boxed in cabinets of 50 cigars. Intended to be laid down and aged, the cigar uses a vintage crop of 1989 tobacco for it's wrapper. Unlike the original Nestor 747 which is a box pressed (squared) cigar, the Series II are left in their original cylindrical state.
The naturally sweet, super-premium Ecuadorian wrapper is the secret to this cigar. When Benny Gomez found this wrapper, through a leaf merchant who represents a small consortium of growers in Ecuador, he committed to every leaf that the growers could produce on behalf of the same group that brought the original Nestor to life.
The tobacco that is used for the binder and filler has been aged for a period of 6-7 years before it was rolled. Once the cigars are rolled, the bunches of 50 cigars are put back in the aging room for another nine months prior to boxing. This process insures that the tobacco has married into a unique blend that we are sure you will enjoy.
Key to the cigars appeal and uniqueness is the tremendous amount of expertise and care that goes into making this cigar. When the group that formed one fateful night over a lobster dinner determined that they would be doing a vintage series of the Nestor 747, they provided the resources for master cigar-maker Nestor Plasencia to build a new facility at his rolling factories in Danli, Honduras. In order to ensure the stringent quality controls that the group demanded, they hired two industry icons to oversee production, Evelio Oviedo and Ernesterio Fife.
