1502 Cigars: A Tribute to Nicaraguan Tradition
The 1502 brand represents a deep connection between Nicaraguan tobacco tradition and its rich history. Behind this remarkable label stands Enrique Sanchez. Born in Nicaragua, he now resides in Miami while remaining proudly connected to his homeland. He is supported by none other than Nestor Plasencia, the legendary tobacco entrepreneur who has built a tobacco empire in Nicaragua. This collaboration has made it possible for 1502 cigars to be rolled in the prestigious workshops of Plasencia.
A Journey Through Time: 1502 as a Symbolic Number
The number 1502 pays homage to history: in this year, Christopher Columbus embarked on his fourth and final voyage to the New World. During this expedition, he reached present-day Honduras for the first time and charted the coasts of Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua for the first time. Although Columbus failed to find a passage to China, he brought immense treasures—among them tobacco—to Europe. This makes him indirectly responsible for our enjoyment of these exquisite leaves.
1502 Cigars: Creamy and Powerful at the Same Time
1502 cigars combine a velvety creaminess with the distinctive strength of Nicaraguan tobacco. The Ruby series is particularly popular, as its flavor intensifies during smoking and is complemented by an elegant Ecuadorian wrapper. For those who appreciate powerful aromas, the Black Gold series offers a rich and aromatic experience. For milder preferences, the Emerald series, with its box-pressed format, shines with elegance and lightness.
The Puro Nicaragua line impresses with a combination of honeyed fruit notes and the typical Nicaraguan character. The Special Edition also offers limited editions and unique creations. For beginners or the undecided, the Sampler is an ideal way to explore the variety of the brand.
