El Titan de Bronze announces El Titan de Bronze Nicaragua, marking the first time in the company’s history that a cigar is produced outside of the United States — a defining milestone for the Miami-based boutique manufacturer.
Founder Sandra Cobas remains actively involved in preserving the brand’s tradition and uncompromising quality standards, while President Giselle Herrera leads the company’s strategic expansion into new markets. Together, they represent the strength of legacy and the vision of the next generation. This release also marks the first cigar in the company’s portfolio to receive broad national distribution, reinforcing El Titan de Bronze’s growing presence across the country.
Manufactured at Nicaraguan American Cigars S.A. (NACSA), El Titan de Bronze Nicaragua features a Broadleaf wrapper, Mexican binder, and Nicaraguan fillers, delivering a rich, bold smoking experience rooted in premium tobacco and meticulous craftsmanship.
“This moment reflects both our heritage and our future,” said Cobas and Herrera. “Producing our first cigar outside the United States allows us to expand thoughtfully while maintaining the high standards that define El Titan de Bronze. For over thirty years, we've produced some of the finest small-batch cigars in the industry, and we are delighted to bring the El Titan experience to cigar lovers everywhere.”
El Titan de Bronze Nicaragua is available in four sizes — Corona (6.25 x 48), Robusto (5 x 54), Toro (6 x 52), and Gigante (6 x 60). Suggested retail price ranges from $7.99 to $9.49 per cigar. Each box contains 20 cigars.
The cigar is very well made and has a nice feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was ok but I used the PerfecDraw to open the draw a little. The initial flavors at light up were light orange citrus, citrus peel, and brown sugar with a lot of earthiness, tanned leather, and black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. A concerning start.
At the first third (23 minutes) the sweet notes are barely there. There was faint orange citrus, a little more citrus peel, a dribble of brown sugar, and plenty of earthiness, leather, and black coffee. The cigar is medium bodied, leaning toward medium to full. The finish is black coffee with a little citrus/citrus peel note with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the first third 90. Barely something I would want again.
As I moved through the second third (43 minutes) the cigar is not getting better. The notes are citrus peel, a dab of brown sugar, a lot of earthiness, leather and black coffee. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is leathery black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the second third 85.
I called the cigar at the 1 hour 4 minute mark. It did not get any better and and actually got worse as I went. There is hardly any kind of sweetness to speak of. Just a lot of black coffee, earthiness, and leather. The cigar is full bodied. The finish is black coffee. I rated the final third 80. For a cigar called "Nicaragua" I expected typical Nicaragua type notes. El Titan de Bronze makes some very good cigars but for me, this is not one of them. I had thoughts of buying a box before I sampled these but that thought quickly went away. For reference, the Redemption Robusto that they came out with 2 years ago was an excellent cigar. It was one of my top cigars for 2024. While every cigar is not for everybody I found this cigar to be quite lacking.
