Located in the northwest corner of South America, Ecuador – which is actually slightly smaller than the state of Nevada – has become one of the most significant growing regions in the world.

Why? Because of unique growing conditions in the country that contribute to producing outstanding tobacco. Nestled between Peru and Colombia, the country’s coastal climate, fertile, volcanic soil and heavy cloud cover create the ideal environment for producing high quality tobacco with deep, rich flavor. 

If you’re looking to experience some of that rich flavor for yourself, we’ve compiled a list of a few highly-rated handrolled cigars that prominently feature exquisite Ecuadorian wrappers.

Rather, they collaborated with AJ Fernandez and the result is smoke that was named a top 25 Cigar of the Year from Cigar Aficionado.
