If you’re looking for a smooth, creamy handmade cigar that’s enjoyable any time of day, Havana Cream Toro delivers. Handmade in Nicaragua, it features a spicy Honduran Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a “Cuban-sandwich” filler style—short filler rolled within long-filler leaves. This construction produces medium-bodied flavors of cream, cedar, and light nuts with gentle spice. The smoke is approachable, consistent, and easygoing. Pair with a crisp Riesling or enjoy alongside a classic Americano.
The Nicaraguan cigar industry originated when Cuban cigar makers escaped the revolution and re-established their livelihood in Nicaragua with Cuban-seed tobacco. Blessed with dark, rich soil, their new home was ideal for tobacco cultivation and Nicaragua quickly became known for cigars that rivaled Cuban quality. Unfortunately, revolution and war came to Nicaragua in the 1980s and devastated the industry, but it’s rebounded dramatically and is once again producing tobacco considered by many to be the finest in the world.
The Esteli Valley is in many ways the heart of Nicaraguan production and is known for its very powerful and spicy tobacco. The Jalapa Valley produces arguably the finest tobacco in the country: somewhat sweeter and less intense than Esteli, but extremely complex. The tobacco of the Condega Valley is often described as a blend of the other two regions.
