Our Story

Legacy we carry with pride

Don Francisco Barreda first developed his taste for tobacco thanks to his established friendship with Cubans, who had settled in the northern Nicaraguan city of EstelĂ­ during the 70s.

He dedicated his small farm to the planting of the leaf and with time he learned how to roll and wrap the cigars, quickly making it his favorite hobby. Smoking one of his creations and sipping on a cup of coffee while watching the sunset over the plantations was how he liked to end his days.

It was his grandson, Oscar Barreda, who converted that passion into a business, giving rise to Barreda Cigars. For more than five years, Barreda Cigars has been one of the few 100% Nicaraguan companies that offers a variety of the finest cigars to the world while also contributing to the generation of employment for inhabitants of the area.

Every cigar that is produced is made up of tobaccos from the best regions of Nicaragua, which have been given special treatment during the curing and fermentation process in order to enhance the flavors that characterize the brand.

Barreda Cigars has made the production of cigars, not only a profession, but an art that is the driving force of family pride and a tribute to the land where we were born. In this way, we get a cigar that is capable of satisfying experienced smokers and tobacco connoisseurs with demanding palates.
