At the beginning of 2023, Artesano Del Tobacco announced the release of the highly anticipated EL Pulpo cigar line, a project that had been in development for years. The name “EL Pulpo,” which means “The Octopus” in Spanish, symbolizes versatility and complexity, which perfectly defines these cigars. Everything began in 2016 when the Artesano Del Tobacco team sought the expertise of renowned cigar maker AJ Fernandez to bring their project to life. Through innovative blending techniques, unique fermentation processes, and meticulous aging methods, AJ Fernandez created a cigar that promises an unforgettable smoking experience.

The blend features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, with binder and filler tobaccos sourced from AJ Fernandez’s plantations in Nicaragua. These cigars are medium to full-bodied, offering rich notes of coffee beans, nuts, spices, and dark chocolate. They are made at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Nicaragua.

La Aroma del Caribe is a line of cigars with deep roots, dating back to the late 19th century as a Cuban brand working exclusively with Cuban tobacco. Today, more than a century later, it has built a new identity in Nicaragua, establishing itself as a symbol of contemporary craftsmanship combined with tradition.
The modern success of the brand is the result of the partnership between Ashton and the legendary Don Pepin Garcia, whose name is behind the blend and production in Estelí, Nicaragua. There, at the family-owned My Father Cigars factory, cigars of exceptional quality are crafted using carefully selected tobaccos from the country’s finest regions.
The cigars in the line are wrapped in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf leaf, while the Nicaraguan filler and binder provide a rich and complex flavor. They reveal notes of cocoa, cedar, molasses, spices, and earthy nuances, balanced with a delicate sweetness that rounds out the profile.
With precise handcrafting, even burning, and a rich aromatic profile, La Aroma del Caribe offers both classic smoothness and harmony, as well as a more intense, full-bodied character, ideal for connoisseurs seeking quality, complexity, and an unforgettable experience in every cigar.
