Torano cigars, Toraño cigars

In 1916 Don Santiago Toraño emigrated from Spain to Cuba. Santiago became involved in tobacco as a broker of leaf tobacco. Over the years he was blessed with having three sons, Jaime, Jose and Carlos. All of them became involved in the tobacco business. Over the years, the Toraño family became one of the biggest and most well known growers of Cuban tobacco leaf. By the time of the revolution in 1959, the Toraño family owned and operated approximately 17 farms throughout Cuba.
After the Cuban government nationalized the tobacco farms Carlos Toraño took his passion for tobacco to the Dominican Republic. Still today, growers in the Dominican Republic credit Carlos with introducing the Cuban seed to the Dominican Republic and teaching the farmers there how to grow what is today known as Piloto Cubano. After Carlo’s early and untimely death, his son Carlos A. Toraño continued the family business, but expanded it to growing in Nicaragua, Mexico and Ecuador.
Almost twenty-five years ago, they began to focus more of their business on the production of cigars rather than the growing of tobacco. Today, they are the only family cigar business to own and operate 3 cigar factories in each of the leading cigar producing countries: Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Toraño is proud to offer you the Carlos Toraño range of cigars which are now sold throughout the world. Their family is 100% dedicated to the cigar business. Because Toraño cigars carry the family name and its tradition, they are passionate about the quality of their cigars and the value they provide to you, discerning cigar smoker.
