Description
Patina y Viso Leprechaun Dust is a limited‑edition candela robusto collaboration between Patina Cigars and Viso Horny, built to be a more balanced, less “grassy” green cigar and clearly aimed at St. Patrick’s Day and boutique collectors.
Basics
-
Name/Collab: Patina x Viso Horny Leprechaun Dust.
-
Size: 5 x 52 Robusto / Robusto Extra.
-
Wrapper: Ecuadorian candela (bright green).
-
Binder & filler: Nicaraguan tobaccos from Oliva Tobacco Co., rolled at N.A.C.S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.
-
Strength: Mild–medium.
Flavor intent
-
Built specifically not to smoke like an old‑school candela: the target profile is more balanced and modern, with less sharp “fresh‑cut grass.”
-
Tasting notes being pushed: cedar, cream, mild pepper, and a gentle herbal sweetness over the Nicaraguan core.
Concept / story
-
The name “Leprechaun Dust” nods to the green dye used to color the Chicago River for St. Patrick’s Day; both Mo Maali (Patina) and Tyler Jeffery (Viso Horny) have Midwest roots, so it ties back to that regional tradition.
-
It’s framed as part of the broader “candela comeback” in the boutique lane: same factory pipeline (NACSA + Oliva leaf) as a lot of current small‑brand collaborations, but with a more thoughtful candela treatment.
