Like its four predecessors, Vudu Damballa comes to retail with a low price point, averaging just under $4.50 (MSRP) per cigar. Keeping the series consistent from a blending perspective, Jesus Fuego created Vudu Damballa using equal parts Nicaraguan, Honduran Criollo, and Brazilian Mata Fina long-fillers, bound them in a Brazilian Corojo leaf, and rolled them in a savory, Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.<\/p>\n<p>Damballa \u2013 the serpent spirit Sky Father and primordial creator of all life who rules the mind, intellect, and cosmic equilibrium \u2013 is illustrated on the humidor jar packaging with a jet black, snakeskin-like appearance accented by splashes of red and white. In Voodoo culture, Damballa is &#8222;The Great Master&#8220; who created the cosmos by using his 7,000 coils to form the stars and the planets in the heavens and shaped the hills and valleys on earth.<\/p>\n<p>After sampling the new blend, CigarAdvisor.com editor, Gary Korb said, &#8222;The Vudu Damballa went through some impressive changes, starting off smooth and earthy, as some peppery spice crept in, then faded-out as some roasted coffee notes entered the fray. The pepper returned at several intervals, interchanging with additional flavors along the way, which really held my interest.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Vudu Damballa is presented in refillable vacuum sealed humidor jars of 19 cigars, with the exception of the No.13, as well as 5-packs and singles.
