DTT-EX-38 is a sample liga I have been working on since 2016. It incorporates a seldom-grown leaf of Costa Rican Morron, which is a derivative of a Negro leaf seed strain grown primarily as wrapper.
My goal behind the blend was to incorporate the smaller corona leaves as a unique
ligero into the tripa recipe due to its chocolate and softer pepper notes.
The “EX” stands for “extraterrestrial” – don’t ask, and the “38” is the number of variations I have crafted to date trying to tweak it to best exemplify the Morron ligero.
The blend has remained dormant for two
years and remains a “work in progress”, but we crafted a very limited batch exclusively for The Great Smoke.
Tasting Notes: A robust liga of chocolate, raisins and a sweet and soft red pepper.
The morron adds a unique flavor and aroma profile almost no smokers in the US have ever had the opportunity to try. There is a peculiar, yet pleasing mustiness to this tobacco that is very different. Presented in a wide corona format for the experienced smoker.
Notes:
- I do not know the price – should be $13.45 MSRP, but Abe tends to like to offer deals
during his Great Smoke, so you will need to get the Actual Retail Price from him if you are
interested. - My understanding is these will be made available during my LIVE On-Air Appearance –
