Oscar Valladares Cigars

Founded just over a decade ago, Oscar Valladares Cigars have earned a spot in humidors across the country, including my own, for its top-rated portfolio of rich and diverse blends. Though the brand started in 2012, founders Oscar Valladares, his brother Hector, and Bayron Duarte have a wealth of tobacco knowledge that stretches back at least twice as far.

Before he was involved in tobacco, Oscar was working as a travel agent and eventually found himself booking factory tours for Rocky Patel, and the two hit it off. Oscar would go on to work with Rocky Patel for almost a decade, learning everything he could about tobacco and the business. Bayron Duarte, meanwhile, had a long career with General Cigars before joining forces with the Valladares brothers in 2012.

While setting up Oscar Valladares Cigars in 2012, the trio simultaneously opened their own cigar factory in Danli, Honduras, which is where all Oscar Valladares Cigars are made. Through top-notch craftsmanship, talented blending, and a focus on choice Honduran tobaccos, Oscar Valladares Cigars is now a highly popular brand that is always in demand.

Among the most popular of offerings is the 2012 by Oscar line, featuring expertly aged Nicaraguan and Honduran long fillers coated by my choice of top-quality wrapper between a Honduran Connecticut, Honduran Corojo, or San Andres Mexican leaf. Themed after the reset of the Mayan calendar in 2012, 2012 by Oscar never fails to provide me with an exciting and satisfying smoking experience.

But perhaps the most interesting is Oscar Valladares McFly, inspired by the colorful 80s aesthetic of the iconic film Back to the Future. Providing a medium-full bodied smoke with boldness and complexity, these gems feature Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican long fillers bunched in a thick Honduran binder and finished with a dusky Mexican San Andres wrapper.

Whenever I want to enjoy the vibrant earthiness of Honduran tobaccos, I reach for an Oscar Valladares Wild Hunter. These Honduran puros deliver a hearty medium-full bodied smoke brimming with hints of chocolate, espresso, cinnamon, earth, and tobacco sweetness.
