One thing many cigar smokers can agree on is that Honduran cigars are well-known for their full strength and full body – and that’s thanks to a large number of the best Honduran cigars using Ligero in their construction. But cigar makers such as Rocky Patel, Camacho, Gran Habano and Alec Bradley are doing one better and making some Honduran cigars that hit every part of the range of flavor, body and strength, from mild to full.
Here is our list of best Honduran cigars.
Mexican Cigars
Often under-appreciated, Mexican cigars at Famous Smoke Shop are a tremendous value for cigar smokers looking for a heavier, more nuanced smoking experience! Many of the leaves used in constructing premium Mexican cigars are dark, and often strong, as is the case of a cigar like Te-Amo. The exceptions, however, are cigars using some of the best tobacco from Mexico’s San Andres region – including brands such as Liga Privada, Room 101, Oliva and Padilla.
American Cigars
For many years, both the shade fields of Connecticut and the Tampa area were the homes of American cigars. That hasn’t changed much; but the good ol’ U.S. of A. has become a much deeper resource for the best tobacco for new flavors and new blends from premium cigar makers like Toraño, Rocky Patel, Padilla, as well as home to 100% machine-made gems from Phillies, Backwoods and Avanti.
