The second release from La Sirena, Merlion is made with an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, a Brazilian Sumatra binder and a filler blend of Dominican Corojo and Criollo, with Nicaraguan ligero and Brazilian Mata Fina. The name comes from the "mer"maid theme of La Sirena and La Aurora's (the factory where these are made) family crest and moniker, the "lion".
