One of the largest producers worldwide, Honduras has carved a niche for itself as a hugely respected home for cigar aficionados and pioneers. Often the home to full-bodied and flavourful tobacco blends, Honduran cigars are perfect for anyone who loves their cigars to be big on flavour.
History of Honduran Cigars
Honduras is one of many Caribbean and Central American countries whose cigar industry owes a lot of thanks to Cuban cigars. When Cuba’s cigar industry was nationalised in the mid-20th century, many of Cuba’s best craftsmen packed up and headed for nearby countries where they could continue perfecting their tobacco.
Honduras is located just south of Cuba in Central America and became the home for many Cuban expats due to its perfect climate for growing exceptional tobacco. Honduras even has its own native wild tobacco plant, called ‘copaneco’, which some farmers have tried to cultivate into a premium tobacco alongside seeds originally from Cuba.
What Makes Honduran Cigars So Good?
Historically, Honduran cigars have been famous for their bold, full-bodied flavours. While the range of cigars offered from Honduras has diversified, you’ll still see Honduran tobaccos and wrappers used to give cigars a darker, stronger flavour.
Like many other Central American nations, Honduras’ cigar industry now blends historic Cuban knowledge with local techniques passed down through generations, resulting in many high-quality hand-rolled Honduran cigars.
