Flor de Copan

Flor de Copan is one of the most historically rooted cigar brands in Honduras, produced at the La Flor de Copan factory in Santa Rosa de Copan, a cool, hilly city in western Honduras near the borders with Guatemala and El Salvador. The Copan region has one of the oldest continuous tobacco-growing traditions in the Americas, stretching back to Mayan civilization and continuing through the colonial tobacco industry that defined the area well into the 19th century. The factory itself was formally established in 1975 by members of Tabacos Hondurenos, continuing the lineage of the country's oldest factory, the Real Factoria de Tabacos. Tobacco is sourced from the Copan, El Paraiso, and Santa Barbara regions of Honduras, giving the brand a genuinely local character that few Honduran brands can claim so completely.
The Flor de Copan brand in this database draws on a Honduran wrapper and binder over a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan filler, offering both natural and maduro expressions across the lineup. The factory today also produces cigars for several internationally recognized brands under the Imperial Brands portfolio and is one of the most respected manufacturing facilities in Honduras, employing hundreds of torcedores who continue traditions passed down through generations of Copan tobacco culture.
