In early 2011,Tower Cigars purchased Chaveta cigars, a boutique brand that is produced by Flores y Rodriguez, the parent of Pinar Del Río, who recently opened up a new Dominican factory. The original blend uses a Brazilian Bahia Maduro wrapper over Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.

The concept behind the Chaveta habano was quite simple. “Let’s try something different.” We had a maduro wrapper cigar already being made by Abe Flores from Pinar Del Rio Cigars.  Abe mentioned he had some nice habano wrapper available. He made Tower some samples. One sample had the habano wrapper the other had a maduro wrapper. The blends were the same on both but they had one component the original Chaveta maduro didn’t have. Broadleaf. I was excited to get the samples. Especially for the habano wrapper. I had smoked the habano wrapper on another PDR cigars and fell in love.
