Blend & construction

The Seed To Smoke Shade Toro uses a Connecticut‑style wrapper, giving it a softer, smoother character than the Classic version.

• Filler: Honduran & Nicaraguan (short‑filler blend)
• Origin: Honduras
• Construction: Cuban sandwich style [tobaccove.com], [havanahouse.co.uk]

Like all cigars in this line, it uses Cuban sandwich construction—a premium wrapper and binder with short filler tobaccos—which helps keep costs low while still delivering consistent flavor. [halfwheel.com]

The cigars are handmade in Honduras, typically at Rocky Patel’s El Paraíso factory. [halfwheel.com]
