Baccarat Luchadores

One of the best-selling cigar brands in the United States, Baccarat is known for its mild, approachable profile and broad appeal. Rolled at the Camacho factory in Honduras, Baccarat Luchadores feature Honduran Havana-seed long-fillers, a Mexican binder, and a smooth Connecticut wrapper. A signature element is the use of sweet gum to seal the cap, adding a gentle sweetness without overpowering the blend. Mellow and aromatic, the cigar offers notes of toast, light coffee, and cream, making it ideal for any time of day. For a nostalgic pairing, enjoy it with a classic cream soda.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
