Latitude Zero
The name is the story. Latitude Zero is the equator — the line that runs through Ecuador, the country that produces some of the finest wrapper tobacco in the world, including the Ecuadorian Habano that covers the most celebrated cigars from Davidoff, Ashton VSG, Montecristo, and dozens of other premier brands. The Oliva Tobacco Company has been growing that leaf for over 80 years. They supply it to some of the most respected names in premium cigars. And now, through master blender Raul Disla at the NACSA factory in Nicaragua — one of the industry’s most quietly exceptional rolling facilities — those leaves come to life in a cigar built specifically to showcase where the world’s finest wrapper tobacco grows.
The original Latitude Zero is Raul Disla’s most direct expression of that concept: an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper from Oliva Tobacco Company’s own fields over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan Estelí long-fillers, producing a medium-to-full-bodied profile of nuts, pepper, oak, and spice with a creamy undertone that reflects the Habano leaf’s natural character at its finest. The Latitude Zero Signature — the second chapter of the line — expands the filler complexity dramatically, adding Dominican Habano and Connecticut Broadleaf alongside Nicaraguan Habano under an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, building a three-country filler blend that delivers pepper, cream, oak, and leather with the complexity that four distinct tobacco traditions produce together.
Why You’ll Love It
Oliva Tobacco Company’s Top 1%: The Latitude Zero concept was built around accessing the finest leaves from the grower that supplies Davidoff, Ashton, Montecristo, and the industry’s most acclaimed brands — the same Ecuadorian agricultural standard that defines the wrapper on the world’s most celebrated cigars, applied here to a blend built specifically to showcase what that leaf can do.
Raul Disla at NACSA: The Production Manager and master blender at NACSA — a factory that produces for Dunbarton, Dapper, and Crowned Heads alongside Latitude Zero — brings the same individual attention and quality standard to every cigar that leaves the facility. NACSA rolls 65,000 cigars per day with the precision standards that the brands who choose them demand.
Two Expressions, One Source: The original Latitude Zero showcases Oliva’s Ecuadorian Habano in its simplest and most transparent expression. The Signature expands into three-country filler complexity under an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper — two meaningfully different smoking experiences built on the same agricultural foundation and the same NACSA craftsmanship.
