Fine Cigars

Our Craft

All HR Cigars are manufactured exclusively at La Corona Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua under the watchful eyes of Omar Gonzalez and his son, Luis Omar.
With farms across Nicaragua and Ecuador, our tobacco is taken to our factory where all aspects of fermentation, aging, and manufacturing are done under a single roof. We possess a multitude of finely aged tobaccos, and we meticulously control each and every step of the process to ensure that no shortcuts are ever taken, and that the quality of our cigars will always be worthy of the Robaina name.

Our Products

HR Signature

Utilizing a gorgeous Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, grown from Habano 2000 seed, over Nicaraguan binders and fillers from both Esteli and Jalapa; HR Signature is one of the most unique, complex, and balanced blends on the market. The HR Signature’s rich, savory profile has earned unanimous praise across the top publications in the industry.

Our Products

HR Claro

With an emphasis on nuance and finesse, the HR Claro is a medium-bodied cigar that utilizes an Ecuadorian Habano Claro wrapper. It features a smooth, creamy profile with notes of toast, nuts, and pepper that saturate the entirety of the palate. Further, as a nod to our Cuban roots, HR Claro is offered in a classic 109 (7.25X50) using original, authentic molds from Cuba.

Our Products

HR Blue

Our take on the powerhouse, the HR Blue is every bit as flavorful as it is strong. Using an Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers, HR Blue envelops the palate from the first puff with a creamy mixture of milk chocolate, leather, espresso and rich earth.
