La Invicta Cigars
La Invicta cigars use Honduran and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, handcrafted with cellophane wrapping and protective tubos packaging. The brand offers two distinct lines: Nicaraguan-grown cigars with lighter profiles and Honduran-sourced blends delivering fuller flavors.

Available in multiple vitolas including:
- Robustos (50 ring gauge x 5")
