Honduran cigars

Honduran cigars are among the most popular with cigar aficionados the world over. They are distinguished by their quality, flavour and history. Find out what makes Honduran cigars special, where they come from and how they are made, as well as the best ways to enjoy them and buy them online.

The characteristics of Honduran cigars

Honduran cigars are reputed to be spicier than other Central American cigars. They have a moderate to strong strength, which varies according to brand and module. They offer a rich and complex aromatic palette, combining notes of wood, leather, earth, coffee, chocolate, dried fruit and pepper.

The hanging valleys of Honduras are home to the tobaccos used to make Honduran cigars. These tobaccos benefit from an ideal climate and fertile soil, giving them a unique flavour and a rich aroma. The main producing regions are Copan, Cucuyagua and San Juan de Opoa. Honduran cigars mainly use havanensis seeds, which are derived from Cuban tobacco and give Honduran cigars a certain kinship with Cuban cigars.

The origin and manufacture of Honduran cigars

The history of Honduran cigars dates back to pre-Columbian times, when the Mayans used Copaneco, the local tobacco, for their religious and medicinal rituals. The Spanish conquistadores discovered the potential of Honduran tobacco and began exporting it to Europe in the 16th century.

Honduran tobacco has gone through some difficult periods in its history, notably as a result of civil wars, disease and competition from other producing countries. It wasn't until the 1970s that Honduran tobacco enjoyed a new lease of life, thanks to the introduction of havanensis seeds and the creation of the La Flor de Copan factory, which is now the largest in the country.

Honduran cigars are made following a rigorous, traditional process involving several stages: growing the tobacco, harvesting the leaves, drying, fermenting, sorting, roasting, rolling and wrapping. Each stage is carried out with care and expertise by experienced master torcedores.
