Inside every box of Shaner Cigars, you’ll find not just the finest hand-rolled cigars but also the story of two friends on a quest for perfection. Justin Shaner and Fernando Rojas set off for the lush tobacco fields of Nicaragua, driven by a shared passion for exceptional cigars. Their journey led them through dense jungles, where they met seasoned farmers who shared age-old secrets of the trade. In the small town of Jalapa, 3 hours north of Esteli, they discovered the rich, volcanic soil that produces the world’s finest tobacco leaves.
With each step, they learned more about the intricate process of cigar-making, from selecting the perfect leaves to the delicate art of rolling. The duo spent countless hours in rustic factories, working alongside master blenders to craft a cigar that embodied their vision of excellence. Through trials and tastings, they finally created a blend that captured the spirit of Nicaragua and their unwavering dedication.
Justin and Fernando’s dream came to fruition in the form of Shaner Cigars, each one a testament to their adventure and commitment to quality. Their story, like their cigars, is filled with rich flavors and unforgettable experiences, promising a perfect smoke with every draw.
