For generations, women have been the heart of handcrafted tobacco. Their female intuition is shaped by tradition and artistry. It allows women in the cigar factories to swiftly move through each stage of the fine tobacco process that a machine could not replicate.
From curating the perfect tobacco leaves to rolling each cigar to a particular rhythm, their skills bring precision, patience, and heart. They understand the craftsmanship of tobacco as if it were a living work of art–observing its texture and uncovering its hidden coatings.
The new LA CAPITANA is a testament to this deep connection and expertise. This cigar opens with woody notes, unfolding into delicate hints of toasted almonds, warm cinnamon, and bright orange peels. Then, LA CAPITANA finishes off with a smooth, sweet vanilla flavor that creates an unforgettable experience for the palate.
We are proud and honored to share that LA CAPITANA is handcrafted by a team of dedicated women at VILLIGER DE NICARAGUA in Estelí. Their shared passion, knowledge, and years of experience reflect in every roll, ensuring that each LA CAPITANA cigar is an authentic living work of art. LA CAPITANA is guided by the inspiring Doña Panchita, who is the heart and soul of VILLIGER DE NICARAGUA. These women take immense pride in their work and hope that every cigar smoker indulges in each cigar with an appreciation for the dedication poured into crafting it.
