Black Market Esteli by Alec Bradley

TAKING ESTELI OUT OF THE SHADOWS. I’ve noticed that many cigar enthusiasts know their favorite cigars come from Nicaragua, but the exact location remains a mystery. Since the term ‘black market’ alludes to things unidentifi ed or shadowy, I felt compelled to bring Esteli, the cigar capital of Nicaragua, out of the shadows. Black Market Esteli pays homage to the importance of the city and everything it off ers to cigar making. – Alan Rubin
