With Buena Vista, the well-known German importer Arnold André has launched his first own long filler on the market. While the cigars were initially still manufactured at La Aurora, they are now rolled in Arnold André's own tabacalera. The special feature of these Dominican cigars, which are traditionally mild, lies in the use of "Araperique" tobacco – a term coined to describe an innovation in cigar production: For the filler, darker Arapiraca tobacco from the city of the same name in northeastern Brazil is used. Instead of simply drying it as usual, the tobacco is fermented in the Perique process. Perique tobacco, originally known from the pipe world, is a flavoring tobacco that is pressed under high pressure in wooden barrels after adding water. The resulting "tobacco juice" supports the fermentation process and gives the tobacco a spicy and at the same time sweet aroma. By adding this special tobacco to the filler, this mild-creamy cigar gets a pleasantly fruity note as well as slightly spicy wood flavors.
