La Invicta Nicaraguan Panatela

HISTORY

La Invicta dates back to the 1940’s. At the time, various trade sanctions and currency restrictions were imposed globally due to the Second World War, with one being the use of the American dollar. This made it difficult to purchase Cuban cigars and so to maintain a supply of war time smokes for the UK, La Invicta (translating to “The Undefeated”) was created by cigar importer Hunters & Frankau. Using tobaccos grown in Jamaica and other regions, the cigars were blended specifically for the taste preference of the British smoker. La Invicta remains a firm favourite today with a new blend and sizes to reflect modern taste.

The La Invicta Nicaraguan range is produced in the Placencia cigar factory in Nicaragua, again using only the best locally grown tobaccos from Esteli, Jalapa and Condega. The cigars deliver rich, robust flavours and aromas, synonymous with the tobaccos grown in the region. Ideal for the regular cigar smoker or trained palate.

Both ranges are made totally by hand using long-filler tobacco leaves and the brand is still under the stewardship of Hunters & Frankau, the UK’s leading importer of premium cigars.
