Creme de Jamaica started life as a genuinely Jamaican cigar before production moved to the Dominican Republic, where it is now made with Dominican Piloto Cubano-seed filler, an Indonesian Besuki binder, and a Connecticut Shade wrapper. The result is a mild, premium smoke that retains the name's island character even if the geography has shifted. Jamaican cigars were once highly sought after, and the Creme de Jamaica name carries some of that nostalgic appeal for enthusiasts who remember the original.
