History of Nicaraguan Cigars
As with many Central American countries like Costa Rica and Honduras, Nicaragua was first introduced to tobacco by the Spanish, but owes a lot of its modern history to Cuban cigars.
Following the Cuban Revolution in the mid-20th century, many of Cuba’s finest cigar makers left the country to set themselves up in similar lands close by, including the rich soils of Nicaragua just across the Caribbean Sea.
Nicaragua went through its own political crises throughout the last century, which slowed down domestic efforts to establish a consistent tobacco trade. However, it is slowly building its reputation as one of the major cigar creators of the region.
What Makes Nicaraguan Cigars So Good?
Nicaraguan tobacco is trusted not only by local cigar creators but also by major New World cigar brands thanks to its incredibly fertile climate.
Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America and makes most of its money through agriculture, with a whole range of delicious goods made in the country’s rich soil. Only separated from Cuba by the Caribbean Sea, it shares a very similar climate to the famous cigar island, which made it a popular landing spot for cigar makers.
Nowadays, ancient Spanish and Cuban influences combine with modern ideas from cigar creators around the globe to create a breadth of Nicaraguan cigars that can stand with the best from anywhere in the world.
