Rocky’s unconventional approach is impressively demonstrated with the Dark Star. For this series, Rocky used tobacco for the first time that comes from a seed sourced in Paraguay and grown in Honduras. The flawless, milk chocolate-colored Corojo wrapper comes from Honduras, as does the binder. The filler is a carefully crafted blend of tobaccos from the Jamastrán Valley in Honduras and Jalapa, Nicaragua, giving the cigar an impressive complexity and depth.
