The farmers of the Santiago de Puriscal region in Costa Rica grow tobacco for our fine cigars in the rich and fertile volcanic highlands at a height of 1,100 meters (3,500 ft.). All the labour is carried out manually. This cultivation was inherited from the Huetar Indians who considered the tobacco plant “sacred”. One of the most important factors for the quality of fine cigars is the process of drying and curing the tobacco leaves.

Our aging process is absolutely natural and, as with excellent wine, it takes our tobacco a minimum of three years to come to its full maturity. To obtain a perfect, regular burn for our cigars we use the tubing technique for the “longfiller”. Once our cigars are manufactured, they are kept in our fully acclimatized “cedar room” for another three months before being ready for distribution.
