HISTORY
The journey of Artesano Del Tobacco began in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, where the Fakih brothers founded their small yet influential shop, New York Cigar Inn. This first venture was more than simply a retail outlet; it became a meeting place for cigar enthusiasts to share their passion. After selling the business in 2015, the brothers started a new chapter by relocating to Nicaragua — specifically Estelí, a region celebrated for its rich tobacco-growing heritage. There, they partnered with the highly regarded blender AJ Fernandez, a collaboration that proved instrumental in creating their outstanding blends.
This partnership has produced cigars such as Viva La Vida and El Pulpo, each reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and a distinctive flavour profile that sets them apart in an ever-evolving market.
Artesano Del Tobacco’s commitment to excellence and unwavering focus on quality have established them as a leading boutique cigar company within the industry. Their continued growth and expansion into international markets stand as a testament to their dedication to producing exceptional cigars that resonate with enthusiasts worldwide. By prioritising quality over quantity, the brand has cultivated a loyal following who value not only the cigars themselves but also the story behind each one.
EL PULPO
Elegantly wrapped in a dark, toothy exterior, delivering an initial burst of citrus zest. This is beautifully complemented by rich notes of coffee bean, nuts, baking spices, and dark chocolate that linger on the palate. The complexity culminates in a lush finish.
