• BrandsSouthern Draw KudzuWhen Southern Draw Cigars was founded, they had two goals in mind. The first was to create a memorable cigar with a great draw, and a nice even ash. The other goal was to make a cigar that would go well with boutique wines or craft beers. The Kudzu, Southern Draws debut cigar, surpasses both goals. Handmade at AJ Fernandezs Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, the Kudzu is a full-strength premium cigar that features a double-fermented Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, an Ometepe binder, and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. Once rolled the Southern Draw Kudzu is expertly aged to bring out its rich, full-bodied flavors of cedar, cocoa, and spice.

• Cigar SectionBox-Pressed (Square)A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a “squarish” or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
