Established in 1968, the company was Nicaragua's first premium handmade cigar manufacturer and is wholly Nicaraguan-owned and operated. Production is based in Estelí. Its process covers seed germination, cultivation, priming of seco, viso, and ligero leaves, curing, fermentation in pilones, wrapper preparation, hand deveining, bunching, draw testing, aging, and packaging. Tobacco used in its cigars is at least four years old, and each cigar passes through more than 300 pairs of hands. Leaves cure for 45 to 60 days, and finished cigars rest in aging rooms from 90 days to several years according to their strength and blend. Cigars are color sorted, ringed, cellophane wrapped, boxed, and sealed with a Nicaraguan origin sticker before international shipment by land, air, and sea.
