La Carolina

Fine cigars maker Jose Alonso started LA CAROLINA de Cuba Cigars during the 1840’s. This master roller knew he could make the best cigars in Cuba, and he did. The high quality and exceptional taste of his fine cigars elevated the brand to become one of Cuba’s most demanded domestic cigars. They became the cigars that aficionados in Cuba smoked. While the demand outpaced the supply of LA CAROLINA in Cuba, some cigars managed to make it to the United States. Only select cigar connoisseurs were able to enjoy these remarkable cigars.

Now once again it is available to just a few cigar aficionados. Handmade in small batches with extraordinary attention to each and every detail, these cigars are crafted with exceptional hand-selected tobacco leaves from Tabacalera Esteli’s special harvest. Each leaf used is comparable in looks and in taste as those that Jose Alonso hand rolled. A very small amount of LA CAROLINA are made and available yearly. Only 7,000 boxes per size are available yearly for the whole wordwide market. It is a truly aged and unique cigar.

As those made by Jose Alonso in Cuba, and those previously made under the Cupido Cigars brand, they have a mellow and uniquely flavorful taste that is delightful and compliments their flower-like aroma. The filler is pure Cuban-Seed Habano tobacco, perfectly hand blended with the finest binder and wrapper tobacco leaves available. This is the same great tobacco and blend that was used to make Cupido Cigars by Tabacalera Esteli. It gained Cupido the distinction of the number 1 rated medium-bodied cigar in America. If you enjoyed a Cupido Cigar, you will be delighted by LA CAROLINA. Those that have the opportunity to smoke LA CAROLINA will insist that they were made by Jose Alonso himself.
