1502 Cigars: A Tribute to Nicaragua's Tobacco Tradition
The mind behind the 1502 brand, Mr. Enrique Sanchez, hails from the heart of Nicaragua. Now living in Miami, he remains deeply connected to his homeland. This close connection is shared with renowned tobacco entrepreneur Nestor Plasencia, a Cuban exile who built an impressive tobacco empire in Nicaragua. This partnership led to a unique collaboration: today, 1502 cigars are crafted in the famous factories of Plasencia.

The number 1502 pays homage to history: in this year, Christopher Columbus embarked on his fourth and final voyage to the New World. During this expedition, he charted the coasts of modern-day Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. Although he was convinced he would find a passage to China, this success eluded him. Nevertheless, Columbus and his successors brought countless treasures—and the enjoyment of tobacco—to Europe.
