Alfambra: From Nicaragua's Tobacco Fields to Premium Cigars
The Alfambra brand represents the highest quality and authentic cigar enjoyment, rooted in Nicaragua’s most renowned tobacco-growing regions. Since 2015, Alejandro Alfambra has been crafting exclusive cigars that bear his name. Originally a tobacco farmer in Condega and Jalapa, he supplied the region’s leading Tabacaleras. The exceptional feedback on his tobacco inspired him to start producing his own cigars, laying the foundation for the Alfambra brand.
The Rise of Alejandro Alfambra: A Master of His Craft
From the outset, Alejandro Alfambra had access to premium raw materials, as most of the tobacco used in his cigars comes from his own fields. His handcrafted longfillers quickly gained recognition, not only in Nicaragua but also in Europe. In particular, Alfambra cigars have become popular in Spain. This discerning market, known for its long cigar tradition, is a reliable benchmark for quality. Alfambra’s success here is a testament to the outstanding character of his creations.
An Overview of Alfambra Cigars
The El Brujito series is the centerpiece of Alfambra’s portfolio. With its creamy-sweet character and impressive range of flavors, it showcases the craftsmanship of its creator. For value-conscious enthusiasts, the Classic Orange Serie N offers an affordable alternative. These cigars are milder than typical Nicaraguan smokes, yet they impress with their depth and complexity.
The Alfambra Selección represents a cigar line crafted with utmost care. Combining Criollo-98 filler, H-2000 binder, and an Ecuadorian H-2000 wrapper, it delivers a balanced, aromatic smoking experience that delights connoisseurs.
Alfambra JG: Cuban Tobacco Expertise
The Alfambra JG cigars are produced under the guidance of Alejandro Mata, a renowned Spanish cigar manufacturer. His unique approach combines authentic Cuban tobaccos in the filler and binder with an Ecuadorian H-2000 wrapper. Official documentation from Habanos S.A. verifies the authenticity of the Cuban tobacco, making these cigars a true specialty.
The Boutique Series: Nicaraguan Craftsmanship
With the introduction of the Boutique Series in May 2024, Alfambra expanded its offerings with an exclusive line. These cigars reflect the dedication and expertise of Alejandro Mata, who discovered his passion for cigars during a meeting with tobacco legend Alejandro Robaina in Cuba. The Boutique Series is crafted almost entirely from tobaccos grown on Mata’s own Nicaraguan farms. The exception is the wrapper, an Ecuadorian Sun Grown that adds a distinctive touch to the blend.
Flavor-wise, the Boutique cigars impress with woody and roasted notes, complemented by a smooth finish. The strength remains mild to medium, making them particularly approachable. With excellent value for money, these cigars are a worthy addition to any aficionado’s collection.
