All a cigar lover needs is a premium smoke, a good accompaniment, and acceptable company. A good cigar makes everything else adjust into place.
But there is so much more to premium cigars. The sheer volume of information around cigars is mind-boggling.
So, as cigar oracles, we have taken it upon ourselves to break down the information and make it palatable to you.
Today we are discussing premium cigars by country. This way, you will know the origin of your favourite smokes. This information is important for your shopping and as a way to impress your buddies.
Nicaraguan Cigars
Nicaragua is the leading exporter of hand-made cigars to the US and the 2nd largest exporter of hand-rolled cigars to the world. It makes sense because Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. It’s lovingly dubbed the land of lakes and volcanoes thanks to its 20 volcanoes and massive lakes.
Delicious volcanic soils and temperate climate makes it the perfect setting for growing tobacco.
It is no wonder some of the most sought-after cigars are Nicaraguan.
At Gotham Cigars, we love Nicaraguan smokes; first for ourselves (referring to our team of reviewers) and second for our precious customers who crave and bid for them.
We’re always committed to stocking the latest, freshest, ultra-quality Nicaraguan cigars suited for every palate.
A few samples of top Nicaraguan cigars include My Father Le Bijou 1922, Perdomo Reserve Champagne 10th Anniversary Epicure, CAO Brazilia Gol, and
Acid Blue Blondie
Dominican Cigars
The Dominican Republic is home to awe-inspiring brands like Arturo Fuente, La Aurora, La Fina Dominicana and many more. Planted at the heart of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is abundant in rich fertile soils and gentle climate perfect for growing incredibly high-quality tobacco.
Cigar-making maestros like Arturo Fuente, Robert Levin, Guillermo Leon, and the Davidoffs can’t get enough of Dominican tobacco.
It is no wonder that the Dominican Republic is the leading exporter of mouth-watering smokes fiercely loved across the world.
We, at Gotham Cigars feature all the top most popular Dominican smokes in our online shop. You can make us your one-stop-shop for all your Dominican cigars needs from now on.
A few examples of the Dominican cigars we have are Ashton Churchill, Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Natural, and Romeo Y Julieta 1875 Churchill.
Honduran Cigars
To the West of Cuba and the Dominican Republic and across the Caribbean sea, is a handsomely rugged country called Honduras. Honduras became a cigar growing country when the Cuban Embargo caused cigar makers to flee Cuba. Even though only a small percentage of Honduras grows tobacco (about 7800 hectares), the soils are dangerously close to Cuban soils. The tobacco grown in Jamastran, the Copan, and La Entrada valleys is luxuriously premium and jam-packed with rich flavour.
This is especially after the government allowed imports and growing of non-native tobacco blends as well as declaring the art of rolling a hand-made cigar as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Republic.
We proudly stock the best of Honduran smokes especially considering Honduras exports around 100 million cigars particularly to the US. Some of the premier cigar makers who have camped at Honduras include Camacho, Punch, Altadis USA, and Rocky Patel among others.
Just a few examples of Honduran smokes in our stock include Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur No. I Maduro, Romeo Y Julieta Reserve Toro, and Camacho Connecticut Gordo 6x60.
American Cigars
American cigars constitute a small part of the premium cigar industry. Despite being the largest consumer of premium hand-made smokes, the US itself makes mainly machine-made smokes.
Whether your desire for American cigars is born out of a spirit of patriotism or you just have a taste for certain US-based brands, Gotham Cigars is the place to shop for all of them.
Among the American-made brands we carry are A Y C Grenadier Natural Dark Box, Factory Throwouts No. 59 Sweet, and Factory Throwouts No.99 Sweet.
European Cigars
Like America, Europe isn’t really a major player in the making of premium hand-made smokes. However, Europe does have its own niche in the cigar industry and that is dry-cured cigars.
European smokes are machine-made short filler sticks which do not need a humidor to survive. They do not have the typical homogenous sheets typical with machine-rolled cigars. European stogies are all natural tobacco.
At Gotham Cigars, we have the greatest collection of European cigars to fit your demand. Some examples include Davidoff Mini Cigarillos Silver and Davidoff Mini Cigarillos Gold.
