Stealth and strength. A mystery to explain. How can something born of such raw power be so nuanced? A hearty Nicaraguan puro wrapped in the oily, unfermented Habano Oscuro leaf. A full body through and through, somehow cloaked in creaminess. A coiled tail and clawed foot pay homage to its namesake... the Chupa Cabra.

The Esteban Carreras Cigar Co. is a boutique cigar company. They are known for crafting premium cigars by using a wide variety of wrappers, shapes and sizes. And giving them clever and unusual names. Their Dictator’s Hand cigar is no exception. This delicious Nicaraguan puro features an oily, mouthwatering Corojo maduro wrapper and it is packed with tobaccos from this Central American country’s prime tobacco growing regions. When lit, this cigar offers a flavorful, medium to full-bodied smoking experience. The Dictator’s Hand is the first time Esteban Carreras has used Corojo tobacco in one of its cigars. The cigar got its curious name from the premium Corojo seeds that were smuggled out of Cuba.

First released in 2022, the Esteban Carreras Dictator's Hand Maduro is the second release of this brand with an interesting back story. In Cuba during the 1990s, Gonzalo Puentes, the Minister of Tobacco, was in charge of improving the disease-prone Corojo tobacco. To accomplish his task, Puentes used the positive selection method, which involved taking the best seeds, regenerating them, and finally taking the best seeds from the best plants. However, these “positive seeds” were smuggled out of Cuba and end up in tobacco-growing countries such as Ecuador and Nicaragua. The “negative” or bad seeds were left in Cuba and in the hands of the Dictator, a.k.a. Fidel Castro. The cigars feature a savory Ecuadorian Corojo maduro wrapper that expertly covers a binder and filler made of premium Nicaraguan tobacco. To enhance its flavor profile, the cigar’s delicious wrapper was aged for two years prior to rolling.
