Buying advice for La Estancia

When cigar enjoyment meets refinement, a masterpiece is created: La Estancia Edición Exclusiva. These exceptional cigars combine the soul of Cuba with the spirit of Nicaragua, offering an unprecedentedly intense and elegant smoking experience. 

Since 1876, the Meerapfel family has cultivated its expertise in the tobacco trade and created a revolution with La Estancia in 2014. Hand-rolled in Honduras, these cigars combine Cuban tobaccos aged for up to 60 years with exquisite Nicaraguan leaves. The Edición Exclusiva develops an intense sweetness that lingers exceptionally long on the palate, accompanied by delicate spice and complex leather and wood notes.

Mild to medium-strength formats

The gentle sweetness and creamy coffee notes of the cigars find their perfect complement in the silky vanilla of the cognac and the caramelized aromas of the aged rum. The harmony arises from the interplay of similar flavor profiles that enhance each other.

Strong formats

The complex tobacco blends with their intense aromas call for equally complex spirits. The interplay of the dark fruits and chocolate notes of Hennessy XO, the rich sweetness of Venezuelan rum, and the sherry-aged dried fruits of the Macallan intensifies every sensory moment.

La Estancia Edición Exclusiva - A real alternative for Cuban cigars

The Edición Exclusiva Series embodies the personal vision of the Meerapfel brothers, Jeremiah and Joshua. Each cigar is rolled by the finest torcedores with a traditional pigtail head and presented in high-gloss piano lacquer boxes reminiscent of the legendary Cohiba BHK boxes. The fully gold-plated, holographic bands are an industry first and lend each cigar a distinctive, luxurious character. The unique band with a rectangular cutout resembles two ribbons that elegantly meet on the reverse—a detail that underscores the attention to perfection.
