Of all the premium cigar countries in Central America, Nicaragua is hailed as one of the top countries and growing regions. The country's nutrient-rich volcanic soil and weather make it the ideal climate to grow flavorful, top-quality tobacco.

A decent amount of Nicaragua's tobacco leaves come from Jalapa and Esteli, two fertile valleys that are responsible for producing some of the world's best filler, binder, and wrapper. The area of Condega, which is close to the Nicaraguan-Honduran border, has become a hotspot for tobacco cultivation, and the tobacco grown in the rich soil of the volcanic island of Ometepe has also recently emerged as a vital finishing component in many highly regarded cigars.

Thus, while it is similar to Cuba, another massively popular cigar tobacco country, Nicaragua is composed of several distinct regions with unique soils and minerals, which results in the creation of a special and distinct cigar flavour, unlike any other country.
