Leccia stuff

So, Sam wouldn't say where his White and Black were made in their early days. I don't recall him ever doing so since...but just saw a reply from him that finally says so. Turns out, the Black is made here in Santiago. I knew the countries of manufacture, just not the specific factories.
From Sam on Facebook:
"Earl, thanks for that question. Since I returned to the industry in 2010, I am proud to say that every Leccia Tobacco cigar has been made at the same factories from where they started. The Black is made at Las Lavas in the Dominican Republic the White, Luchador, el Gringo, Desnudo, Small Batch 75, and Bumpy Roots are made at American Caribbean Cigar in Esteli, Nicaragua. The only thing that General Cigar has ever made for my brand was the boxes for the El Gringo-(which is why I am back ordered on that cigar.) also I source a majority of the tobacco that I use, so even if I did, or do change factories, the cigars wouldn't change as I could easily take my blends and tobacco to another factory. Only the hands rolling them would change."
