A unique terroir

The character of a habanos is linked mainly to their origin. The land where the tobacco was grown determines the expression of the product, like a renowned wine. A drastic selection of leaves is essential to further define the aromatic richness and nobility of these cigars.

The island has only a few tobacco farms from which all local production originates. Each farm has its own cultivation method. Their soils are of exceptional quality and there are microclimates specific to each region. This allows each harvest to measure the quality of the leaves. There are four main areas of tobacco production in Cuba, namely Vuelta Abajo, Vuelta Arriba, Partido and Semi Vuelta.

The Top 5 Most Famous Cuban Cigars

The Montecristo No. 4 is, in the opinion of experienced smokers, the best cigar in the world. This is a small elaborate corona with 4 types of leaves. The brand, founded in the first half of the 20th century, was once the most selective in the country. But over time, a new competitor, Cohiba, overshadows it by offering prestigious habanos. Very quickly, the firm regained first place in sales, notably with the most limited series on the market.

The Churchill vitola, belonging to the Julieta y Romeo brand, ranks second among exceptional Cuban cigars. A product particularly appreciated by the late English Prime Minister. The producer has the widest range of hand-rolled habanos.

The Lancero from the Cohiba brand takes third place in the standings. The brand's cigars are characterized by their aromatic wrapper originally used by the Aborigines. Moreover, one of the specificities of these habanos is the fermentation undergone by 3 of the 4 leaves that compose them in order to bring unique flavors to the products.
Cohiba and Monecristo share fourth place with their Esplendido and Montecristo N°2 cigars. The first is a sweet cigar obtained thanks to a very meticulous manufacturing method, resulting from a range intended for the elite.

The place of Dominican cigars on the international market

Dominican cigars are the most famous after Cuban cigars. However, the country is the leading producer of Long Filler Premium cigars. The Dominican Republic is also the main supplier to the American market. A factor that has greatly influenced the direction of its manufacturing.

In sum, Dominican cigars are generally intended for amateurs, with a beautiful presentation, better quality and more aromatic tobacco leaves. You should know that the country does not produce specific leaves intended to be used as a wrapper. A fact that has led local manufacturers to offer cigars with a strong personality: light products, but endowed with a wide variety of aromas.
