Nomad Cigar Company is pleased to announce the release of the Nomad SA-17 to retail stores on May 18, 2016.

The SA-17 was actually a โ€œsisterโ€ blend to the Nomad C-276 back when Fred Rewey, the man behind Nomad Cigar Company, started experimenting with San Andres tobacco.

Nomad SA-17 marks theย seventh full production cigar Nomad has done inย Estelรญ at Tobacalera AJ Fernandez.

I love working with tobacco at AJ Fernandezโ€™s factory. Ask anyone around, he has amassed some of the best aged, most diverse, quality tobacco. For me, blending is a creative process. It is nice to have that home in Estelรญ to blend and experiment.Fred Rewey

This is not the first time that San Andres has shown up in Fredโ€™s work. Recently, San Andres was used as a binder in the Nomad Connecticut Therapy blend and as a wrapper in the Stogies H-Town Lancero.

I love San Andres wrapper. It may have taken me several years to wrap my arms around how it ages and plays with other tobaccosโ€ฆbut, for me it was worth the wait.
