The need to start a cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua grew out of necessity. We operate a cigar store in Miami and it’s a store that sells a lot of bundles. So in 2006 we started our own factory to produce bundled cigars for our store. We quickly grew from making bundles tomaking cigars for other companies when we started working with the Toraños. We started with the Toraño Master, which was the first premium cigar we made. And it sold incredibly well and received a lot of praise from the magazines; if I’m not mistaken for a 4-year stretch it was Toraño’s number 1 selling brand.
We continued making cigars for Toraño; the Master Maduro, the Salutem, the Vault, and the Sam Leccia. All of these blends came about as the Toraños kept seeing the quality of our work and the variety of blends that we were developing. And as a result of that relationship we were introduced to Gurkha. And we’ve been making a lot of cigars for Gurkha like the Royal Challenge Connecticut and Maduro, the Heritage Habano and Maduro, the Rogue, the East India Classic: Havana Blend, the Red Witch, and the Cellar Reserve Platinum just to name some.
La Rosa de Sandiego has sweeter flavor profile and that requires an additional fermentation. That added fermentation not only makes the tobacco a little sweeter but it also produces a cleaner smoke. That’s why the La Rosa de Sandiego cigars have no bitterness or harshness whatsoever. Also, the rollers in our factory who make La Rosa de Sandiego only make that cigar.
La Rosa de Sandiego Natural is cigar with Nicaraguan flavor profile. A cigar that is flavorful, had a good amount of power, but that it is balanced by its sweetness. The key to the Habano blend is the interplay between the Ometepe, Jalapa, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf tobaccos in the filler. Together they provide a combination of strength, flavor intensity, and sweetness that are the essence of that cigar. The wrapper is also a major component. It is an Ecuadorean Habano 2000 that is aged for more than 2 years. We work the wrapper until it is exactly how we want it. It needs to have an even color, a good amount of oils, an even burn, and excellent flavor.
