Nicaraguan Cigars Delight In Being Back

Nicaragua must have been the twin sister of Cuba. The former shares many similarities with the latter. First, Nicaragua just like Cuba is a country in the Caribbean, though technically, Nicaragua is part of the Central America Region. Second, Nicaragua faced an economic sanction from the United States of America, wherein their products are banned from entering the US soil.

Third of the roster of similarities is that both countries are home to the best cigars in the world. Though Nicaragua and the Cuban tobacco growers and rollers took advantage from each other. The Cuban farmers sought refuge in Nicaragua, while the country benefited from the skills of the refugees, thus the famous Nicaraguan cigars came to life.

When Fidel Castro declared to have the government operate all the privately owned corporations, the affluent Cuban tobacco makers together with some of their workers decided to migrate to Nicaragua and made it as their new home. While ion their way to Nicaragua, these stowaways brought with some of the finest seeds of Cuban tobacco. Luckily, as fate would have it the fertile soils of Nicaragua is suited for the cultivation of tobacco.

Nicaraguan cigars had their ups and downs. During the 1960’s when President Kennedy of the US decreed an economic embargo against Cuba, Nicaraguan cigars started becoming the latest craving for most American aficionados. The Nicaraguan cigar flavor is almost the same as Cuban cigars because the two come from the same tobacco seeds. Cigars from Nicaragua, among other cigars from the Caribbean region, were the only ones that were allowed to be merchandised in the US. The pride of Nicaragua did not fail its people as it continues to be patronized by a wide margin of the American market.

The popularity of the Nicaraguan cigars suffered from the tolls of the political turmoil under the leadership of Anastasio Somoza Debayle. The political unrest had caused war between soldiers and tobacco plantation workers that heavily affected the industry. The economic embargo in 1985 imposed on Nicaragua by the US has aggravated the condition, thus greatly crippling the state of Nicaraguan Cigars, until in 1995.

After a long hiatus, the last Nicaraguan beauty is back in the limelight when it repositioned itself in the international tobacco market. Though it is still recovering from the great loss and the pains of the past decades, Nicaragua cigars is redeeming its name and taking back its rightful place it once enjoyed.

Cigar aficionados can now taste the famous brands like Padron, Joya de Nicaragua, and Torano. The pride of Nicaragua will is set to hold cigar lovers in a spell because of its proven flavorful taste and aromatic bouquets that can only be tasted with a stick of Nicaraguan cigars.
