Mexican Cigars
Mexico's cigar industry combines traditional tobacco cultivation with emerging luxury production. Recent domestic regulations have encouraged development of premium cigars alongside established value-focused offerings.
Mexican Tobacco Heritage
Tobacco cultivation in Mexico dates to pre-Columbian civilizations like the Aztecs and Mayans. The San Andres Valley's volcanic soil produces distinctive wrapper leaves used in global cigar production.
Modern Cigar Production
While 20th century operations prioritized bulk exports, current manufacturers are focusing on artisanal techniques. This shift preserves native tobacco varieties while meeting international quality standards.
