Each brand is a distinct seal of quality, so it’s only natural that smokers have their favorites.
On this occasion, at Tabaco & Ron, we want to talk about exclusive premium cigar brands that have earned international recognition and whose products, for your enjoyment, can be found in our store.
Premium cigars in Panama: 5 brands of great international prestige
A premium cigar is the result of artisanal craftsmanship; a craftsmanship that has been passed down for generations and that distinguishes it in terms of flavors and rolling techniques. This can be best appreciated when we learn that some brands are family-owned, guaranteeing a unique seal.
Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua have something in common: ideal climatic conditions and soils with sufficient nutrients and minerals to produce high-quality tobacco leaves. It’s not without reason that these countries produce major premium cigar brands. Interestingly, expert smokers can identify the cigar’s origin and brand with just one taste, demonstrating our pursuit of those unique flavors.
The following 5 brands are just a few examples of this guaranteed seal of quality:
Cohiba: Cigars with a Cuban flavor for the world
It is one of the most prestigious brands in the world. Originally, it was created as an exclusive line for Cuban diplomats, but today it is synonymous with sophistication and luxury. Rigorous leaf selection and careful aging processes enhance the smoothness and complexity of the flavors. Cohiba’s premium cigars are always a safe choice for any occasion.
Arturo Fuente: Dominican cigars with unsurpassed quality
It’s one of the most respected brands in the world, a work consolidated since its founding in 1912. The climate and soil of the Dominican Republic are the secret to the growth of such fine tobacco leaves. Over the years, the Fuente family has maintained its legacy, providing us with premium cigars that are impeccably crafted and boast diverse and complex flavors.
Oliva: Cigars of Nicaraguan perfection
Nicaragua has become a world leader in the production of premium cigars, and one of its greatest representatives is Oliva.

One of the favorites among smokers seeking luxury. The Padrón 1926 is a great example of this.
