Don Fidel Cigars – From Barcelona to Estelí
Barcelona is a beautiful city. In the Catalan metropolis and its surroundings, Justo Rico owns several tobacco shops. At some point, he developed the desire to launch his own brand. This is not an uncommon phenomenon—time and again, we see retailers who decide to switch to the other side. However, Justo is not a typical case. But let’s take it step by step…
Don Fidel—of course, the name immediately brings to mind the perhaps most famous aficionado in history. Though, of course, there was also Churchill. And the legendary Zino Davidoff. Not to mention Bill Clinton, whose smoking habits were rather unconventional.
Nicaragua Instead of Cuba, Enjoyment Instead of Politics
Don Fidel only resembles El Comandante in name, but has nothing to do with Castro or Cuba. In fact, these cigars are produced in the Tabacalera of the Fidel Olivas family in Estelí, the cigar capital of Nicaragua. Justo’s other line, Vedado Flat Black, is also rolled here.
Don Fidel Cigars: Nicaraguan Sophistication
Anyone who appreciates Nicaraguan premium cigars will definitely get their money’s worth with Don Fidel. Spicy and woody notes dominate the flavor, complemented by a certain sweetness, but also salty nuances. This is what makes Justo’s cigars special. All in all, one can describe it as a highly complex cigar with medium strength.
