A forgotten Cuban-era name is getting new life in Nicaragua.

HVC Ci**rs has officially started shipping La Decoración, a revived 19th-century Cuban brand reimagined by founder Reinier Lorenzo as a new regular production line. **rs

First showcased at the Premium Cigar Association 2026 Convention & Trade Show, the blend combines an Ecuadorian 2000 wrapper with Nicaraguan tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa for a medium-bodied profile focused on balance and classic character.

📏 Soft-Pressed Vitolas:
• Robusto – 5 1/2 x 52
• Grandote – 6 x 60
• Churchill – 6 1/2 x 50
• Toro – 6 1/2 x 54

📦 Also available: a limited sampler featuring one of each size.

👀 One of the standout details is the box artwork, the interior vista pays tribute to Havana’s historic Catedral Metropolitana de La Habana. .ci**rs.family

This feels like a blend of old-world inspiration and modern Nicaraguan craftsmanship, something HVC continues to do exceptionally well.
