the CBT Maduro features a blend that had been in the works for “many years” before it was released.

While the company has not disclosed the tobaccos that make up the blend, Eiroa has confirmed it is exclusively made up of leaves taken from the upper primings of the tobacco plant in order to create what he calls an old school-style maduro. This includes the wrapper, which Eiroa said is naturally darker because of the amount of sun and nutrients it receives, as opposed to wrappers that are dark simply because of their origin or how they are processed.
