Cigar World: Part 3 (Nicaragua)

It now appears that cigars from Nicaragua are fast approaching total production of Honduras, but at a pace that does not demean cigars from Honduras, but says cigar smokers seem to enjoy Nicaraguan cigars in their “collection” of cigars for the variety of tastes.

It is further evident that the city of Estelí, Nicaragua now rivals Santiago, Dominican Republic with brand owners, and brand manufacturing, not yet in total cigars, but by per portion. To name some- Padron, Plasencia, Pepin Garcia, Perdomo, Torano, Oliva, and on and on. This city employs thousands in pursuit of cigars some say as much as 80% of the population.

As a suggestion: If you have yet experienced the Nicaraguan taste, please do so, the range of medium to full body, but very complex.

Further, as a favor to yourself, no cigar “collection” is complete without all countries of origin since each has a distinct quality and taste for certain times of the day.
To name any specific brand is very difficult, like saying, “Tell me your favorite cigar”- however- Nicaraguan cigars are growing in popularity- and you owe it to yourself to try a sampler or just one. –The selection of brands is quite large.
