ABOUT THE TORAÑO FAMILY

The Toraño family’s history in the cigar business dates back to 1916. In 1916 Don Santiago Toraño emigrated from Spain to Cuba. Santiago became involved in tobacco as a broker of leaf tobacco. Over the years, the Toraño family became one of the biggest and most well known growers of  Cuban tobacco leaf. By the time of the revolution in 1959, the Toraño family owned and operated approximately 17 farms throughout Cuba.

After the Cuban government nationalized the tobacco farms, Carlos Toraño took his passion for tobacco to the Dominican Republic. After his death, they continued the family business, but expanded it to growing in Nicaragua, Mexico and Ecuador.

Almost twenty-five years ago, they began to focus more of our business on the production of cigars rather than the growing of tobacco. Today, they are a family cigar business that owns and operates cigar factories in TWO of the leading cigar producing countries: Nicaragua and Honduras. The Toraño family is 100% dedicated to the cigar business. Because the cigars carry their family name and its tradition, they are passionate about the quality of their cigars and the value they provide to their customers.

Now we at R & C Cigars are proud to offer you our range of Carlos Toraño prize-winning cigars at discounted prices. The finest cigars on the market are now available at prices to suit every pocket.
