Did you know? It can take five years to craft a balanced cigar. Years spent growing, drying, fermenting, aging, selecting, hand-rolling, and maturing. There are few other premium products that parallel the dedication and human effort it takes to create a specialty coffee. Estelí has become Nicaragua's center for the cigar craft. It is not only a craft, it is an economic powerhouse. Dating back to MesoAmerican rituals, hand-rolling keeps tradition alive while creating opportunities & economic independence for 1,000s of families in Northern Nicaragua.
