Cigar Republic's Eco-Friendly Cigar

Eco-friendly and cigar are not words you would normally put together, but the Cigar Republic has a new product that is exactly that.

The Tesoro Mio is a new cigar from Costa Rica that the Cigar Republic is stocking. Its tobacco is grown with no pesticides and is made in an organic way.

Not only is the cigar eco-friendly, it tastes good, too, Debora Harris, owner of the Cigar Republic said. Its tobacco has been aged for 4-5 years and it has a medium-bodied taste.

If you want to try one out and get out to an event at the same time, the Cigar Republic will be having Oliva night this evening from 7 p.m to 10 p.m. A representative from Oliva will be out, and there'll be cigar specials and raffles for free goodies.

If you want to learn more about the event, or the Tesoro Mio, check out the Cigar Republic, at 155 107th Ave., in Treasure Island.
