This South American brand is amongst the world’s most renowned cigar and cigar humidor marks and is considered a big cigar name in the world. It is unique in that it began as a national company, as opposed to being nationalised from private ownership.

You might be curious to know why Spanish cedar wood is the top choice of cigar manufacturers when it comes to packaging and storing cigars and why is this fragrant wood a cigar industry favourite when it comes to cigar humidor panelling and cigar boxes?

The cedar boxes or humidors don’t actually fragrance the cigars themselves, even though Spanish cedar compliments the tobacco aroma perfectly and has been the go to choice from the very first commercially packaged cigars. The name is also a little misleading as it’s neither from Spain nor a cedar! Spanish cedar or Cedro is in fact part of the Mahogany family and native to Central and South America.

The wood itself varies regarding aroma, colour and texture which is all determined by the country it’s grown in, the type of soil that is there and where cigars are produced. The wood is easy to work with, resistant to insects and contains fewer resins than other wood. Sadly, unregulated logging of these trees has resulted in a drastic decline, and now in many Caribbean and Central American countries, it is considered an endangered species! This makes Cedro an expensive wood to use. Thus only a handful of cigar manufacturers use solid Cedro for their packaging, cigar boxes and humidors. Instead, most use plywood sheets with a thin Spanish cedar wood veneer, with even the most expensive humidors using veneers too! Makers often use other woods with similar properties such as mahogany, okoumé, toona and guarea, which are sometimes treated with cedarwood oil to imitate the original Spanish cedar nuances.
