Cibao was launched in 1985 by Jose “Jochy” Blanco of Tabacalera Palma and now returns to the U.S. starting with four sizes in three different blends. The fillers of the cigars use Dominican tobaccos grown by Blanco, but they are offered with either a Connecticut shade wrapper, an Ecuadorian habano wrapper or a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper. Blanco is also producing the cigars.
