Victor Calvo Cigars

The cigar brand Victor Calvo is probably still largely unknown to many in Germany, even though the family has been producing cigars since 1996. Victor began his career at Tabacalera Tambor de Costa Rica, before moving to Estelí, Nicaragua in 2001, where he opened his own factory. Initially, cigars were produced exclusively as contract manufacturing for other brands. Since 2013, cigars under his own name have also been offered and distributed. As is often the case, these were first launched in the United States. The "classic" cigars from Victor Calvo are divided into three blends:

• Maduro (with a maduro wrapper)
• Sun Grown (known as H... in the U.S.)
• Gold (by Victor Calvo Senior)

Victor Calvo Cigars: From Nicaragua to Germany

Since August 2019, Victor Calvo cigars have been imported and distributed in Germany by our specialist retail partner Sebastian Gollas from Berlin. Sebastian’s entire team was thrilled when they had the opportunity to sample several cigars from this brand in the summer of 2018, which prompted him to bring the brand to Germany as soon as possible. Here's an overview of the other series from Victor Calvo:

• Cincuenta (marking the family’s 50th business anniversary)
• Fuerte (the strongest blend)
• U.S. Shade Reserve (featuring genuine U.S. Connecticut wrapper)
