Buenaventura's have an old-school look, with vintage-style cigar bands and simple yet elegant packaging. Buenaventura by Curivari are Nicaraguan puros, made with a mixture of tobaccos from Jalapa, Estelí and Condega. Curivari makes all its cigars with Nicaraguan tobaccos, but they typically shy away from using tobacco from Condega, which might explain the standout nature of the Buenaventura blend.

This pressed cigar delivers a medium-bodied flavour profile with a decidedly creamy texture to the smoke, notes of roasted peanuts and a flavourful finish smacking of graham crackers.
