Mexican Cigars

Mexico’s contribution to cigars is one specific, unmistakable leaf: San Andrés. Grown in the San Andrés Valley of Veracruz, this dark, sun-loving tobacco is one of the most sought-after maduro wrappers in the world, prized for the cocoa, dark chocolate, earth, and pepper it brings to a blend. You will find Mexican San Andrés on cigars rolled all over Central America, but Mexico also makes its own: brands like Casa 1910 build full Mexican puros from San Andrés Negro, tobacco the country has farmed since the 1800s. The style runs dark and rich rather than mild. For smokers who love a deep, chocolatey maduro, Mexican cigars are where that flavor starts.
