He first experienced the character of this blend through Rafael Guerra, a Cuban friend he met on a trip to the island’s Vuelta Abajo region. As the anniversary approached, however, Wood was disappointed to learn there would not be enough of this Cameroon wrapper leaf for production. He would not substitute another wrapper, feeling it necessary to have the best for this cigar. “The tobacco is now ready,” reports Wood. “Its long-filler blend combines genuine African Cameroon wrapper, Nicaraguan-grown Habano binder, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The cigars are hand made in the Toraño family’s Esteli, Nicaragua, factory. Morado is the latest of several Black Pearl products in the company’s Lifestyle Collection, which also includes gourmet coffees and now, select wines. Wood continues: “We blended the original Black Pearl, which launched the series in 2000, with the intent of duplicating the flavor and aroma of Cuban cigars, to the best of our ability. The cigar has continued strong to this day, complemented by our most powerful Black Pearl, the Rojo (Red), and the medium-full bodied Cobre (Copper). They join the original La Perla Habana Classic and Maduro, both of which were accepted enthusiastically. The line has received much media attention, as well as earning excellent ratings and reviews by the cigar press. "Throughout history,” notes Wood, “the color purple ... morado ... has signified royalty. I believe Morado is the finest cigar we’ve made ... with the first one I smoked, I knew it was perfect.” Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the Morado is $9. The Black Pearl Morado will be available at tobacco retailers nationwide this August .
