Anyone know of or ever smoked a cigar that has a Ligero wrapper?

    The Ruination has a ligero wrapper. Since the Ruination has it, the MoW SE also has it. The Cain F has it too, I believe. Tatuaje Thermonuclear is 100% ligero, so I'd think that has it too.

    Diesel Unlimited has a ligero wrapper. I just got some and they are resting.

    Good luck finding one of those! I think Pete had something like 100 of them made total, as a joke to give out at events in Hawaii, which is where the similar (but toned down) T110 was released.

    The Tatuaje Cojonus all use ligero priming rosado oscuro wrapper leaf.

    Thanks for the info guys...I would love to have a chance to smoke that Tat one day, but if they only made a 100 of them, guess that won't happen.

    Not many people using ligero for wrappers or binders especially. It is very heavy and when you make a cigar with such heavy tobacco, you have combustion problems. However, the flavor is great so a lot of people will look past burn problems in trade for flavor. That said, it is also extremely expensive to use ligero, especially wrapper. Consider that in a harvest, only 10% of your yield is ligero and only 10% of your yield is wrapper grade. That means roughly in a typical harves there is only about 1% ligero wrapper grade.

    This info is what prompted me to ask the question on which cigars had the wrapper, a wrapper that is so rare and harvest, etc, I really wanted to try a cigar with it. I knew the MoW Ruination used an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, but had no idea it was from the Ligero priming.

    I smoked a Diesel unlimited Torpedo last night and it didn't have a single burn problem! It was damn good too. Too bad I was outside in shorts and it was cold. I would enjoyed it more if I had jeans on or had a firepit.

    Isn't the Padilla Obsidian a ligero wrapper?
    I remember reading that somewhere and it would make sense considering the difficult time I've had with them.

    The Double Espresso from Graycliff has been my favorite for around a year, can't get enough of them. It boasts that it has "extra ligero for a premium full bodied flavor".
