Crafted in Nicaragua, a tribute to classic cigar artistry.
01

A Heritage Reimagined

The Capitol brand was introduced around 2020 by Plasencia Cigars, a family with a rich history in tobacco cultivation dating back to 1865. While a relatively new name in the market, Capitol draws upon the deep-rooted knowledge and extensive tobacco reserves of the Plasencia family. This launch marked an effort to create a distinct line that embodies both tradition and contemporary appeal within the premium cigar segment.

02

Nicaraguan Character and Refinement

Capitol cigars are characterized by their medium to full-bodied profiles, often featuring a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos for the wrapper, binder, and filler. Expect notes of earth, spice, coffee, and subtle sweetness, delivered with a smooth draw and even burn. The brand aims for a sophisticated yet accessible experience, showcasing the diverse flavors inherent in Nicaraguan puros or near-puros.

03

Crafted by Plasencia

A key aspect of Capitol's identity is its production by Plasencia Cigars, one of the largest and most respected tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers in Nicaragua. This association ensures access to high-quality, estate-grown tobaccos and meticulous production standards. The brand benefits from Plasencia's vertically integrated operations, controlling every step from seed to finished cigar.
