At Taínos, every cigar is more than smoke. It is heritage preserved, ritual honored, and excellence shared with those who understand refinement. 

 Our name pays homage to the Taínos people, the indigenous guardians of the Caribbean and the first to cultivate tobacco. In their language, Taínos meant “the good people.” For them, tobacco was sacred a bridge between earth and spirit, between people and ritual. We carry their name as a living tribute to authenticity and craft. 

 The story of Taínos began with passion and devotion. An entrepreneur arrived in Cuba for business and found himself captivated by its culture, its cigars, and a Cuban professional whose life was dedicated to the art of tobacco. What began as admiration became partnership, and together they immersed themselves in the traditions of cigar-making. 

 With time, their shared vision carried the spirit of Cuba into Nicaragua a land where master rollers continue the artistry with devotion. 

 Today, Taínos unites the soul of Cuba and the mastery of Nicaragua across four distinguished lines Don Gaston, Soroa, Novo, and Madasi each an expression of character, each curated for the connoisseur.
