Don Tomas

Don Tomas is one of the oldest and most enduring names in Honduran cigar-making, introduced in 1974 at the Centro American Cigars S.A. factory in Danlí — the heart of the Honduran cigar industry. Crafted under the guidance of legendary factory manager Estelo Padrón, who famously insisted on making cigars the nineteenth-century way, Don Tomas was built on a foundation of Cuban-seed tobacco from the Talanga Valley of Honduras. Originally owned by the United States Tobacco Company, the brand passed to General Cigar and later became part of the Scandinavian Tobacco Group. The blend represented in this database draws on Colombian, Dominican, and Mexican filler under an Indonesian wrapper with a Colombian binder — the formula that evolved during the high-demand years of the cigar boom when traditional Honduran leaf became scarce. The classic Honduran and Nicaraguan blend was restored with the Classico relaunch in 2005.
