Construction and Draw
The dark, oily Oscura wrapper is expertly rolled over a carefully selected Nicaraguan binder and filler blend, providing a firm, even draw that produces dense, aromatic smoke; the cold draw reveals nuances of sweet cedar, cocoa, and mild spice, while the burn line remains sharp and self-correcting, forming a long, firm, gray ash indicative of meticulous craftsmanship and premium construction
