For well over 500 years Cubans have been cultivating and celebrating their leading export. Committed to producing only the highest quality cigars, the manufacturing process is equal parts art and science. What’s more, to ensure consistency, the government closely regulates providers, allowing only the very best products to reach the customer.
Far more conducive than anywhere else in the world, the agricultural conditions of Cuba lend themselves perfectly to the production of cigars. Its soil provides not only the ideal properties for the finest tobaccos, but also the growing of wrapper leaves which are the envy of every cigar manufacturer outside of the island.
Unlike other cigars, a Cuban is unblended and completely free of preservatives and taste enhancers. This purity is responsible for producing a signature taste which cannot be replicated elsewhere. By using only the finest local tobaccos, a high end Cuban offers a truly unique experience through its use of natural ingredients.
When referring to the Cuban cigar people often make the mistake of assuming there is a single type and taste. The reality is that there is a diverse range of flavours which cannot be enjoyed anywhere else. From the aromatic to the rich, Cuba has an incredible variety which promises to satisfy every kind of palate.
Cuba makes no apology for the rarity of its famous export. Annual conventions like the Cigar Lovers Paradise capitalise on this and offer the opportunity for enthusiasts to indulge a variety of Cubans in an appropriately formal environment. This exclusivity and importance is what makes the cigar more cultural experience than simply a material product.
