Honduran Cigars
Earthy, full-flavoured cigars in toro and gordo formats.
New
Honduran tobacco
Between Dominican smoothness and Nicaraguan pepper sits Honduran leaf: earthy, leathery, with a richness that suits larger formats. It has body without the sharp spice, which is why it appeals to smokers who want strength but not heat.
Toro and gordo
The toro is the versatile size, longer than a robusto with room for the flavour to move. The gordo is thicker, burns cooler and slower, and turns a cigar into a two-hour proposition. Larger ring gauges also mean more filler relative to wrapper, so the blend rather than the leaf dominates.
When to smoke them
After dinner. These are not cigars to rush, and a gordo in particular asks for an evening rather than a gap between appointments.
Cutting a gordo
Large ring gauges need a cutter rated for them — our double-blade handles up to 60. Forcing a small cutter onto a thick cigar tears the wrapper.
Storage
Humidor, 65 to 70%. Thick cigars dry out more slowly than thin ones but suffer just as much in the end.
