The Best Cigars With Ecuadorian Tobacco

Also known as the “land of fire,” Ecuador has a long-standing history in tobacco production due to a heavy saturation of volcanoes in its ecosystem. Over eons and eons, this has allowed the soil to be extremely fertile. For that reason, a substantial number of premier cigar brands have looked upon Ecuador as a source for their outstanding tobacco.

Where is tobacco grown in Ecuador?

Seeing as Ecuador is a near-coastal province that sits nestled between Peru and Colombia, their soils are lush for growing an herbal or earthy flavored tobacco. In addition to the history of volcanic activity within the region, their consistently cloud-covered skies have allowed for a distinctive growing and curing process that’s unique to Ecuador.

Premium cigar tobacco has systematically been sourced from one main region of Ecuador:

Los Rios

About Los Rios Tobacco:
Los Rios’ location provides Ecuadorian tobacco with consistent cloud cover throughout the growing season. This natural reduction in sunlight diminishes the plant’s vein size, yields thinner leaves, and creates a very supple leaf with consistent color.
