Since its creation in 2018, Escobar Cigars has consistently pushed the boundaries of excellence, artfully blending Nicaragua's finest tobaccos to deliver a luxurious and memorable tasting experience. The adventure began in 2017 when David Gomes and Michael McNaughton set off for Nicaragua, initially in search of secluded beaches and unique diving spots. Their journey led them to Estelí, a town famous for its cigar production, where they decided to create their own brand.

Inspired by Cuba's rich cigar heritage, they meticulously select a blend of three vintage Habano tobaccos, grown in the fertile volcanic soils of the Nicaraguan mountains. Thus was born Escobar Cigars, which quickly distinguished itself by the exceptional quality of its handmade products. The brand attracts the attention of global hip-hop icon Nas, who becomes co-owner the previous year. Nasir Jones, better known as Nas and an avid cigar enthusiast, plays an active role in developing the sophisticated, uncluttered image that characterizes Escobar Cigars today.
