Don Duarte
Unique and Rewarding smoking experience!
Don Duarte cigars are among the best and most important brands in Nicaragua; in Germany they are available in 2 different lines. The doctor. Roger Duarte-Rodríguez, the founder of the brand, grew up in one of the oldest cigar dynasties in Nicaragua. His ancestors are probably among the founders of the cigar town of Estelí in the north of the country.
His grandfather Don Rafael Rodríguez was one of the first to export raw tobacco from Nicaragua abroad. His great-grandmother, Mrs. Mariana Duarte Boza, already ran a small tobacco company in Masaya, Nicaragua. He was and is so attached to his country that he almost exclusively uses Nicaraguan tobacco in his cigars. In 2001 he met the master blender Evelio Oviedo.
All vitolas are completely handmade long fillers from whole leaves, with 9 different formats in the Don Duarte Clásico there is undoubtedly something for every occasion and for every preference. Extraordinarily high quality and the classic Nicaraguan tobacco blends in his blends have earned him and his cigar brand international renown. The mixes were assembled by Evelio Oviedo, who sadly passed away in 2009.
The brand was started in 2008. In 2019 the brand was bought by Fernando Navarro, becoming a manufacturer after 20 years of experience in the sale of Cigars in the international market. The historical circumstances due to COVID 19 caused an exponential increase in the sales of cigars, which led us look for new factories.
Since 2020, DON DUARTE cigars have been made at PAGES tobacco company, having achieved substantial improvements in quality.
Tobacco from Mexico was removed and the Jalapa cigar wrapper was swapped for an equator wrapper which gives it better burn and roll.

Villa Vieja
The Origin of Estelí !
A product from Villa Vieja, Estelí, a town in northwestern Nicaragua, where family stories are used to exalt the values of "work and passion" that have given Nicaraguan tobacco its success and reputation.
With the trade techniques honed for more than 200 years of cigar manufacturing in Estelí, as well as an improved variety of the black tobacco seeds, and the rich black soil and ideal climate they found in the regions of Estelí in Nicaragua, they had the perfect ground to flourish and produce the Habano wrappers and binders that characterize the rich-tasting, aromatic cigar of exceptional quality produced in Villa Vieja, Estelí.
On November 26, 2019, the first blend tests were carried out with different tobaccos selected from the best suppliers in Estelí.
Vieja was created by Fernando Navarro in honor of the origin of Estelí, Nicaragua. After long period of time of blending, finally Villa Vieja was launched from the factory Aganorsa. It comes with a uncommon amount of tobacco from Estelí. The great fermentation of this tobacco selected from the very best bales of Aganorsa gives a very special medium to full body taste a great aromas.
