Nomad SA-17 Shorty (Box) contains 21 compact 4 x 56 premium cigars featuring a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Developed by Nomad Cigar Company founder Fred Rewey, the SA-17 was originally produced at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua as a fuller expression built around San Andrés wrapper tobacco.
The Shorty concentrates the SA-17 blend into a short, thick 56-ring format. Its medium-to-full profile emphasizes cocoa, dark chocolate, espresso, cedar, earth, pepper, and natural sweetness, combining the darker character of the San Andrés wrapper with a Nicaraguan tobacco core.
