Casa de Alegria Cigars: Quality, Enjoyment, and Responsibility
The brand from Nicaragua's cigar stronghold Estelí impresses with its distinctive motto: Quality, Enjoyment, and Responsibility. The journey of the two founders of Casa de Alegria was far from straightforward. Maritza Molina, an experienced psychologist, and Ralf Westerwick, a geographer from Gummersbach, ventured into the industry as newcomers. Ralf, a long-time friend of our house, is renowned for his tireless commitment to top-notch quality.
Craftsmanship and Passion: Cigars by Casa de Alegria
Since their humble beginnings in October 2004, Maritza and Ralf have gained international recognition with their handcrafted premium cigars from Nicaragua. With their "House of Joy," they embody a passion for exceptional tobacco from the finest growing regions such as Jalapa, Condega, and Estelí. All tobaccos undergo an extended aging process to fully develop their distinctive aromas, which are then transformed into the exclusive Casa de Alegria Cigars.
Responsibility and Fairness as Core Values
Casa de Alegria stands for more than exceptional cigars; it also represents social responsibility. Employees at the Tabacalera receive above-average wages and benefits that far exceed legal standards. Tobacco farmers and contract partners are also compensated fairly. This commitment not only improves living conditions locally but also ensures access to the finest raw materials and motivated employees.
Experience the Variety of Casa de Alegria
The Edición Limitada Rico offers medium-bodied, earthy-spicy notes with roasted aromas. Its tobaccos undergo a fermentation process of at least twelve months. For those who prefer milder flavors, the Edición Limitada Suave impresses with an elegant Connecticut wrapper and creamy smoothness.
Pipe smokers will also find something special at Casa de Alegria: Instead of crafting shortfillers from cigar scraps, the filler is stripped of binder and wrapper leaves and processed into high-quality Wild Cut. The result: authentic cigar tobacco for pipes that is definitely worth trying!
