In the Dominican Republic we harvested our premium tobacco leaves sorting according to color, strength, texture, size and resiliency. Ruben A. Hill Premium Cigar leaves are then separated into groups designated as filler, binder, and wrapper tobacco. Our wrappers are the highest quality of Cuban Seed HVA wrappers to create that perfect blend producing a superior rich depth of flavor taste with its unique characteristics that are extremely smooth.
After the tobacco has been processed, a blend, which is a specific combination of leaves, is prepared. Once we have harvested the selected tobacco. We move and hang our selections of tobacco for 40 to 60 days or more in our curing barn. Since we own all our blends our Ruben A. Hill Premium Cigars are made to order which not only makes them limited but highly sought after based on the high demand. During the curing process this will age the premium selected tobacco turning it from a vibrant green into a rich dark brown. This also removes certain impurities and elevates the hidden richness of the leaves. The tobacco needs fermentation.
