Che Zigarillos

The good old Che Guevara is well-known as a comrade-in-arms of Fidel Castro. Not only because of the famous photo taken by Alberto Korda on March 5, 1960, in Havana, the doctor and revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara is a popular motif among many "amateur revolutionaries." Those who delve deeper into his history understand that many Cuban exiles do not hold him in high regard. However, most Che T-shirt wearers are significantly less concerned about that.

Be that as it may, the distinctive name has now been chosen for this cigarillo series from the Schuster company. They are all machine-made products with a Java Shade wrapper and an HTL binder (Homogenized Tobacco Leaf). The filler blend consists of air-cured tobaccos from Indonesia, South America, and the Caribbean.

The mildest one is the Comandante 143, followed by the General 124 and the Capitan 104. The numbers represent the length of the products in millimeters. The smaller cigarillos, due to their size, are also the strongest, with the "R" (Rum) and "V" (Vanilla) additionally flavored.
