Kolumbus Cigars

Boutique Cigars From the Canary Islands

Buy Kolumbus cigars in the UK for handmade tobacco from an unexpected origin: the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, where the brand's cigars are rolled using leaves grown and processed by traditional methods refined over centuries.

The name is a nod to Christopher Columbus, who first encountered tobacco on his voyages to the Caribbean and, according to the brand's own history, later scattered seeds on La Palma itself. When Canary Islanders who had settled in Cuba returned home after Cuban independence in 1898, they brought the art of cigar making with them, and La Palma's climate turned out to suit tobacco just as well as it suits the island's famous bananas. Kolumbus continues that lineage today, using palmero tobacco aged in Spanish cedar cellars.

As the exclusive UK importer, Toro Puro brings Kolumbus to smokers who want something genuinely different from the usual Caribbean and Central American names, a distinctive aroma and taste shaped by the island's growing conditions and old-world rolling techniques.

Choosing your Kolumbus cigar

• K Azul, the lighter of the two lines, in Robusto and Robustito sizes. A gentler introduction to palmero tobacco.
• K Negro, fuller-bodied and more intense, also in Robusto and Robustito sizes, for smokers who want more weight behind the flavour.
