Molina Cigar Company of New Orleans, through Pensacola Florida introduce themselves as a company and their debut brand Devil's Weed.
In
1492, the Old World discovered in the New World, God's great gift -
Tabaco. Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) returned to Spain with
the new discovery and from there the glorious plant would change the
history of man and his world forever.
The first
people to condemn this wonder of nature were the Spanish Inquisitors.
They desecrated the plant by referring to it as the "Devil's Weed."
Rodrigo de Jerez was one of Colón's sailors who fell entranced by
tabaco. For his constant use of the plant, he was imprisoned by the
Spanish Inquisition.
515 years later, Molina Cigar Co., is proud to present to you the result of the sublime works of man, nature and God.
Enjoy
my family's cigar and praise tabaco just as men of the ancient and
modern world have for centuries; for tabaco is not a tool of the devil,
but God's great gift to all of us.
Born
in the Dominican Republic in the hallowed halls of Don Leoncio, SA,
Devil's Weed is the ultimate tribute to the cigar itself. You may think
that the philosophies and actions of today's ever-increasing
anti-tabaco groups are the strictest and most draconian the world has
known. Surprisingly they do not claim trophy to such description; the
Spanish Inquisition (yes, no one ever suspects the Spanish Inquisition)
was the world's first anti-tabaco group (and one of the most extreme).
Xerez was imprisoned by the tabaco-hating zealots and many people in
his hometown thought the smoke escaping his facial orifices was
actually his soul escaping.
Devil's Weed is meant to
underscore to humanity that tabaco is not a tool of the devil but
actually God's great gift to all of us. Devil's Weed is a tribute to
you, the cigar smoker, who understand what the cigar can do for you and
your fellow friends. We do not need to say anymore, except to enjoy
life, family, friends and being. Here's to you, o lover of geometry,
philosophy and all things epicurean, the cigar smoker.
The
history of the factory of Don Leoncio is one over 80 years in the
making. Named for his father, the tabacalera is headed by Juan
Rodriguez whose family has been involved in cigar production for two
generations. Juan and his two brothers have worked for three famed
cigar factories on the island of the Dominican Republic for over 30
years and with the American spirit, decided to make a living for
themselves. Now in its 5th year of operation, Don Leoncio only hires
the most talented staff of torcedores and uses the choicest of tabaco
leaves. The operation devotes its own designated space for the
production of Devil's Weed for Molina Cigar Co. With over thirty years
of rolling cigar himself, Juan Rodriguez and his team of tabaco
artisans pride themselves in producing the most supreme cigars the
world will ever know.

Blended as an "anytime-of-the day smoke," Devil's Weed is a mild-to medium in strength cigar which is quite refined, yet very flavorful. This is blended according to the old-school philosophy: a cigar that is clean yet elegant with flavor. This cigar does not stay in your mouth days afterwards like so many blends right now. The tabaco used is of the highest quality and it shows in the refined finish. There are hints of cream and toffee without a strong presence of pepper.
The artisans of Don Leoncio, SA, commit total quality to every stick of Devil's Weed. The result is a cigar of sublime construction and an even burn. Just as the smoke provides a wide array of flavors, the actual feel of the cigar is solid and supreme. If you are not satisfied, please return to the cigar shop, and we will replace it with another. This is our commitment to quality and to you.
Devil's Weed is a line of cabinet selection cigars, meaning they are made and packaged according to traditional Cuban methods and highest standards. The cigars are naked and wrapped in white tissue reminiscent of old Cuban brands that employed the same tactics. I believe that this is an advantageous form of packaging the cigars as the tissue allows more breathe-ability than cellophane (ideal for aging), yet the protection cellophane provides while the cigars lay in the box. The solid cedar box in which the cigars arrive, complement for storage and fully protect the precious pieces of earth.
