• Cigar Section
  Round

  Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.
• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
