Antigua Estelí: Tradition, Variety, and Enjoyment
Art Garcia, the founder of Antigua Estelí, launched a cigar brand in 2016 with great passion, embodying the charm of Nicaraguan craftsmanship. The brand made its debut in Germany in 2019 at the InterTabac in Dortmund.
A remarkable chapter in the history of Antigua Estelí is the naming dispute in the United States. There, the cigars are known as Segovias de Estelí, while they continue to be marketed in Germany as Antigua Estelí. This unique situation underscores the brand’s international significance.
An Insight into the World of Antigua Estelí Cigars
Antigua Estelí represents not only exclusive cigars but also a deep connection to the region. The name references the tobacco-growing area of Nueva Segovia in Nicaragua, renowned for its premium growing fields. The slogan "El Diamante de las Segovias" highlights the exceptional quality of the cigars, appealing to discerning aficionados.
The Oscuro and Maduro Series: A Feast for the Senses
In 2019, two exclusive series were introduced at InterTabac: Oscuro and Maduro. Both series feature two formats, impressing with their premium wrappers and masterful craftsmanship. The Oscuro series shines with an Ecuadorian Sungrown wrapper, while the Maduro line uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. In both cases, only 100% Nicaraguan tobacco is used, delivering an intense and aromatic flavor experience.
Antigua Estelí: Old Estelí, Reinterpreted
The name Antigua means "old" or "ancient" and refers to the rich tradition of cigar manufacturing in Estelí, the cigar capital of Nicaragua. Located in the province of Nueva Segovia, Antigua Estelí brings this tradition back in a new, modern interpretation. The Segovia line is a standout highlight, impressively embodying this connection.
