Buenaventuras have an old-school look, with vintage-style cigar bands and simple yet elegant packaging. Buenaventuras 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 Maduro version features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, offering a robust smoke marked by rich, peppery notes.
