Robert Holt set Southern Draw up around small-batch production and getting each blend right rather than getting many out. Firethorn is the Habano Rosado in the range.
Rosado leaf gives it a distinctive reddish tone and a bright, spicy character — pepper and sweet cedar up front, settling into something rounder. Robusto, toro or gordo.
Wrapper: Habano Rosado
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler
Strength: Medium to full
Sizes: Robusto (5.5" x 54), Toro (6.0" x 52), Gordo (6.5" x 60)
Rosado is an underused wrapper. This is a good argument for it.
