Subterraneo is an imaginary underworld derived from Mayan mythology that is responsible for regulating the nutrient content of the soils that make tobacco farming possible in Central America. Mercury enters the fable as the 13th cigar release in Privada Cigar Club's Subterraneo Series and is based on a wise alien/human hybrid regarded by the pre-Mayan humans and Subterraneo extraterrestrials as their interpreter because the two species could not otherwise communicate. Mercury the cigar, on the other hand, was born, raised, and rolled at Tabacalera Fernandez in Nicaragua with a blend of Corojo and Criollo long fillers from Estelí bound in hybrid Nicaraguan Broadleaf and cloaked in a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper. The rare and enigmatic Mercury is considered to be the most balanced Subterraneo of the entire series and is not likely to roam among us mere mortals for long.
