History
The La Invicta brand name is owned by Hunters and Frankau who are the exclusive agents for Habanos S.A. and distribute all their Cuban cigars in the UK. The brand was created in the 1940s when, during World War II, they could not purchase Cuban cigars in US dollars. Instead Hunters and Frankau created La Invicta cigars which were made from Jamaican tobacco to keep the UK supplied during wartime. The brand has recently been resurrected and includes Honduran and Nicaraguan versions.
The La Invicta Nicaraguan Shorts Cigars, unlike its larger counterparts, are machine-made and pre-cut for convenience. However, the robust yet mellow aromas associated with the brand remains consistent and the cigar can be enjoyed in around 15 to 20 minutes when time is “short”. A great entry-point cigar from Nicaragua. These cigars demonstrate the more robust, rich, earthy flavours, a characteristic of tobacco grown in that region. The tobaccos are from Esteli, Jalapa and Condega.
