Introduction
Behind every premium cigar lies a story that begins long before it's lit. It’s a journey that travels through fields, artisan hands, and time. At Tabacalera Aragón, we believe that understanding this process connects you more deeply with what you smoke. This is the journey of a tobacco leaf from its birth to your humidor.

1. Seed and Cultivation: Quality Begins at the Source
Everything starts with a carefully selected seed. In regions like Estelí or Jalapa in Nicaragua, the volcanic soil and climate allow tobacco plants to grow strong and aromatic. Farmers monitor every stage of growth with dedication.

2. Harvest and Curing
Once the leaves reach maturity, they are handpicked. Then they’re hung in curing barns where they slowly lose moisture. This process lasts several weeks and is key to developing the leaf’s texture and color.

3. Fermentation: Where Flavor is Born
The leaves are fermented in “pilones” (large stacks controlled by heat and humidity). This stage softens the tobacco and removes impurities. Flavor notes like cocoa, spice, or earth emerge depending on the variety.

4. Selection and Aging
After fermentation, leaves are classified by texture, color, and use (wrapper, filler, or binder). Then, they are aged for months or even years to allow the flavors to mature. It's much like aging a fine wine.

5. Hand-Rolling Craftsmanship
Master rollers with years of experience craft each cigar by hand. At Tabacalera Aragón, we honor the time, the right pressure, the precise cut. Every cigar is a work of art, ready to tell its story when lit.

6. Rest and Packaging
Before leaving the factory, cigars rest in special humidors. This lets the flavors meld. Then they are packaged with attention to both aesthetics and preservation.

7. Into Your Hands
Whether in Miami, Japan, the UK, or Australia, every cigar arrives with a story. It’s not just a product—it’s a legacy of generations, the flavor of the land, and the passion of those who create it.

8. Cigar Sizes and Shapes
A cigar’s size doesn’t just affect its appearance, but also its flavor, duration, and smoking experience. Here are some of the most popular formats:

• Robusto (5" x 50)
  Compact and balanced, one of the most popular formats. Ideal for a 45–60-minute smoke.

• Toro (6" x 52)
  Slightly longer and thicker than the Robusto. Offers a longer smoke with flavor progression.

• Churchill (7" x 47)
  Elegant and classic. Its length allows for a more complex experience.

• Corona (5.5" x 42)
  A traditional format with a medium-length smoke, perfect for those who enjoy concentrated flavor.

• Lancero (7.5" x 38)
  Long and thin. Appreciated by aficionados for its flavor intensity, driven by the wrapper.

• Gordo (6" x 60)
  Thicker than traditional formats. Provides a slower burn, ideal for those seeking intensity without rush.

Each of these shapes offers a different experience, influenced by the ratio between wrapper, binder, and filler. At Tabacalera Aragón, we craft each format with dedication to offer variety and excellence.

Conclusion
The next time you hold a cigar; remember it carries a journey of effort and tradition. At Tabacalera Aragón, we invite you to enjoy it with respect and pleasure. Follow us on social media for more stories like this.
