In 1998, Eduardo Fernandez went to Nicaragua with a dream: to grow the finest tobacco in the world that captured the very essence of the Cuban cigars of old.

To do this, he traveled to Cuba and assembled a world class team of Cuban agronomists who worked at the highest levels of Cuba tobacco, in many cases for over half a century, and brought them to Nicaragua.

These men oversaw the production of tobacco during the heyday of Cuban cigars, knew exactly the taste they were famous for, and recognized they could recreate the style and aroma of Cuban leaf using traditional Cuban methods in conjunction with the resources available to them in Nicaragua.

The tobacco they cultivated is named Aganorsa Leaf.

Back in the golden age of rail travel, cigar lovers didn’t just enjoy a smoke—they did it in style. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, luxury trains like the Orient Express and Pullman railcars in the U.S. featured dedicated smoking lounges called “cigar cars” or “smoking cars.”

These were lavishly appointed spaces with leather armchairs, dark wood paneling, and built-in humidors. Only men were typically allowed, and they’d gather to smoke cigars, sip whiskey, play cards, and talk politics or business while the train rolled across the countryside.

Some trains even had ventilation systems designed specifically for cigar smoke, making them an early example of smoke-friendly design.

While these cars disappeared over time due to smoking bans and changing social norms, they remain a nostalgic symbol of a time when cigar culture was deeply woven into travel, leisure, and luxury.
