Artesano del Tobacco
Artesano del Tobacco was founded by longtime cigar retailers Billy and Gus Fakih after decades spent in the premium cigar industry.
The company introduced Viva La Vida in 2019, working with A.J. Fernandez to create a rich Nicaraguan cigar that would become the foundation of the Artesano del Tobacco portfolio. The company later expanded with El Pulpo, a bold blend built around a Mexican San Andrés wrapper.
Today, Artesano del Tobacco is known for premium Nicaraguan cigars with distinctive blends, strong flavor profiles, and an emphasis on craftsmanship.
Our Artesano del Tobacco inventory changes throughout the year, and specific blends, sizes, and limited releases may vary depending on availability.
