Nicaragua
Cumpay, established in 1999 to enable cigars lovers to discover the unrecognized wealth of the Nicaraguan soil, tells the story of a wildly beautiful country. It has the lyricism of an opera, the mystery of an adventure, the charm of an old refrain recalling the contrasts of land of water and fire, its tormented history, and promises of peace regained the gentleness of the valleys. It also bears witness to the inexhaustible joy of living displayed by a people of Mestizos whose arts, culture and traditions reflect quiet strength and endless energy.
Unique Soil
Thinking of Nicaragua, you often see blue lakes and green of the tropical forest. But in the northern part of the country, there is also a surprising region marked by high volcanic, dark, dry and wild lands where forces of Nature and human know-how have combined for a very long time to create a powerful tobacco. It is there, between the blackness of the soil and the deep yellowness of the sun, that Cumpay draws its strength, its accents of roasted coffee, hazelnuts and leather, its corpulent smoke and the astonishing gentleness marking its colourful personality.
Making a cigar
Cumpay is that land’s noblest expression. It takes no less than two years to create this hecho totalemente a mano, from the delicate germination of the seeds in the nursery to the placement of the band around the cigar, including topping the plants, harvesting the crop leaf by leaf, slow fermenting in pilones, defining the ideal blend, rolling the leaves, placing the wrapper. This manual production process, entrusted to real craftsmen with perfect mastery of meaning and secret of each movement, provides exemplary sublimation of the aromatic complexity of Nicaraguan cigars
Moments of happiness
The pleasure offered by a Cumpay begins long
before the first puffs rise into the air. Look at the delicious colour of
its Habano 2000 wrapper, shiny and smooth, and listen to that slight crackling
that makes one think of a living thing. Discover its sunny band, which delights
the eye and stimulates the imagination, or the appetizing odours of peat and
stable, stimulating an impatient nose. Let thousand small details sharpen
your awakening senses: they are already a promise of some moments of pure
happiness, conferred on the body and the mind by the perfection of a great
cigar.
