The 7th Sam gets its name from the fact that it uses seven different tobaccos in the blend. It also happens to be the 7th distinct blend in the Surrogates line. In addition the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, 7th Sam uses a double binder of two Nicaraguan tobaccos and a filler consisting of Connecticut Broadleaf, Mexican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The Nicaraguan tobaccos are all grown on the Garcia family farms and include: include Criollo ’98, Corojo ’99, Habano and Sancti Spiritus. It is available in one size – a 6 3/4 x 48/62 perfecto.
