Taru Martani blends three formulas
of cigar mixtures, namely: 1) natural cigars (pure tobacco), 2)
flavor cigars (tobacco with accent sauce of Mint, Amareto, Vanila,
Rum and Hazelnut), and 3) mild cigars (with mild tobacco). The main
material of tobacco comes from Besuki area, Jember, East Java. It
is called Java Besuki. The taste is dominant and the color is brownish
black. It is used for inner liner wrap (omblad) and outer liner
(dekblad) of the cigars. The filler is a combination of Java Besuki
and tobacco from Havana - Cuba, Dominican Republic and Brazil. The
uniqueness of Taru Martani cigars is that all the processes are
hand rolled. Every single cigar is carefully and accurately wrapped
by hand to become a quality of cigar.
