Handcrafted by Drew Estate in Nicaragua, the H99 Papas Fritas combines the rare H99 Connecticut Corojo wrapper with mixed filler cuts from premium Liga Privada production, creating a rich and flavorful cigar packed with unmistakable Liga character.
Inspired by Cuban mixed-fill cigars, the Papas Fritas format uses premium tobacco trimmings from larger Liga Privada cigars to produce:
