Top Cigars with South American Tobaccos
For many years, the Caribbean and Central America dominated the cigar industry. And, to this day, places like the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua produce some of the finest tobacco in the world. However, more and more brands are incorporating South American tobacco into their premium cigars. Here, we’ll take a look at some of the top cigars on the market with South American Tobaccos.
Brazil — CAO Amazon Basin
Amazon Basin is a legendary cigar with a cult-like following. It includes exotic Braganca tobacco harvested from the Amazon Rainforest, and the cigar delivers a bold, earthy, and fruity smoking experience. Amazon Basin also contains filler tobacco from Colombia, and it boasts an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.
Honorable Mentions: CAO Brazilia, Hoyo de Monterrey Oscuro, AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro
Ecuador — Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne
Ecuador is famous for its production of shade tobacco. Indeed, the country receives abundant natural cloud cover, making it a near-perfect place to grow this variety. As such, many excellent cigars sport an Ecuadorian Shade wrapper, but few are as iconic as the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne. Smooth, floral, and oaky, this cigar is a perfect introduction to Shade smokes — and a great everyday treat.
Honorable Mentions: Macanudo Inspirado White, Oliva Serie V Melanio
Colombia — CAO Colombia
Not many cigars contain Colombian tobacco, but it’s no surprise that one of the few that does is made by CAO. If you can’t tell already, CAO has a penchant for utilizing rare, exotic tobaccos in its products. And CAO Colombia is one of its finest offerings. Packed with unique Colombian filler tobacco, this salty and sweet cigar provides a rich smoking experience that fans of all kinds will enjoy.
All of South America — Bolivar Aniversario
If you want to smoke a cigar with ONLY South American tobacco, then the new, limited-edition Bolivar Aniversario is probably your best bet. Not only does it have an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, along with tobacco from Brazil, Colombia, and Paraguay, but it also contains a super rare filler from Argentina. Add this exciting new cigar to your rotation while supplies last.
