MUWAT

The history of MUWAT cigars began during the final consumer product blending session at the Joya factory in Nicaragua, at the end of 2010, during a Cigar Safari tour.

After conducting blending sessions over the previous 3 years at the Drew Estate factory, we were optimized to extend the concept to JDN. I worked with the JDN team using DE tobaccos, including a San Andreas Negro wrapper, an Ecuadorian Connecticut sous-cape and a Brazilian Mata Fina tripe, combined with Nicaraguan tripe supplied by JDN.

The blend turned out to be rich and earthy, with a lively, soft nuance. Over the months, I felt that this blend was very noble in the 6 × 60 format and called this cigar "MUWAT". We all had a good laugh about the name, but when I went back to their factory to pick up the fifty or so sticks, the "MUWAT" brand is officially born.
