Description
RoMa Craft Neanderthal HN 4 x 46
The RoMa Craft Neanderthal HN 4 x 46 is a full-bodied cigar made in Nicaragua with a dark San Andrés wrapper and a high-priming ligero core, delivering bold notes of earth, espresso, dark chocolate, and black pepper.
Produced by RoMa Craft Tobac — founded by Skip Martin and Mike Rosales and based in Austin — the Neanderthal line is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and distinctive blends in the boutique cigar world.
What makes the Neanderthal HN unique?
The Neanderthal blend uses a rare Pennsylvania Double Ligero filler tobacco, combined with Nicaraguan tobaccos and a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. This creates a cigar with exceptional strength, density, and complexity — designed for experienced smokers.
The HN 4 x 46 vitola concentrates this blend into a compact format, intensifying both flavor and strength while maintaining balance.
