Perla del Mar, which translates to Pearl of the Sea, is an old Cuban brand resurrected in 2012. The Perla del Mar Corojo Toro (5.5” x 46) is the third in the line, debuting as part of a brand makeover. With the makeover came the “Tampa-style” press, giving the stick more of a rectangular shape, rather than the traditional box press. All three lines consist of a Nicaraguan and Nicaraguan long-filler, however this blend is wrapped in a silk Corojo-seed wrapper. Together, the blend gives off notes of salted peanut shells, cedar, cocoa nibs, earth, espresso beans, hay and citrus.
