Costa Rican cigars: a unique and authentic taste

Costa Rica is a Central American country renowned for its coffee, biodiversity and quality of life. But did you know that it also produces top-quality cigars? Costa Rican cigars are made from tobacco grown on the country's fertile soils, which benefit from an ideal growing climate. Costa Rican cigars are distinguished by their natural, unadulterated taste. They offer cigar lovers a unique and authentic tasting experience.

What makes Costa Rican cigars so special?

Costa Rican cigars are made using ancestral know-how, handed down from generation to generation by master torcedores. They use carefully selected tobacco leaves from the country's best plantations. The leaves are dried, fermented and aged for several months or years, to obtain an incomparable aromatic richness. Costa Rican cigars are then rolled by hand or machine, according to tradition or innovation.

These cigars have a very natural, unadulterated taste. They have an earthy, woody and spicy flavour, with floral or fruity notes depending on the variety. They burn evenly, with dense smoke and compact ash. They are suitable for all palates, from the mildest to the most full-bodied.

The main brands of Costa Rican cigars

There are several Costa Rican cigar brands on the market, each with its own identity and product range. Here are a few examples:

Horacio cigars

The Horacio brand was born in 2008 from the passion of three French epicureans.

You have to go back to Esteli to find the origins of Horacio cigars. It was in the heart of this town that the passion for cigars was born in Nicaragua. The result is a unique manufacturing process and exemplary expertise. The Horacio brand offers several ranges from Nicaragua (Classic Line, Maduro Line and Edicion Especial) and a range of cigars from Costa Rica (Heritage Line).

A few words about the Horacio Heritage series, from Costa Rica. This is one of the latest ranges of cigars with unique flavours that perfectly complement the aromatic palette of Horacio cigars. With Horacio Heritage cigars you enter a world of raw, woody and humus-like aromas. However, notes of roasted beans and a touch of sweetness perfectly balance this woody, raw and earthy side. A unique taste experience.

Vegas de Santiago cigars

Vegas de Santiago cigars come from a long family tradition dating back to 1928 in Spain. The Santiago family emigrated to Costa Rica in the 1990s to continue their tobacco production and cigar-making activities.

The tobaccos used to make Vegas de Santiago cigars are grown in Costa Rica's central valley, renowned for its mineral-rich volcanic soil. They are rolled by hand or by machine in the factory located in Puriscal. The emblematic D8 cigar range offers a diversity of aromas, from mild to full-bodied.
