The past year Noel Rojas has been very busy.  Most notably he has transitioned to a new factory, Tabacalera Aromas de Jalapa.  At the same time, Rojas is keeping busy with his lines.  In addition to launching his Guayacan Maduro, Rojas has also launched a new line called Sabor de Esteli.

From talking to Rojas, there is no question he was beaming with pride from this line.  Sabor de Esteli means “the flavor of Esteli”.  The line is being offered in two wrapper options – a Habano Ecuador and a San Andres.  In addition, Rojas is offering a limited edition lonsdale in the Habano Ecuador blend with 500 boxes being produced.

Guayacan Cigars is distributed by House of Emilio.  Of the nine companies in the House of Emilio portfolio, Rojas is the only one to own his own factory.


At a glance, let’s take a closer look at the Guayacan Sabor de Esteli:

Blend Profile

As mentioned, the Sabor de Esteli is available in two wrapper options – Habano Ecuador and San Andres.  Rojas has said the blend is entirely composed of ligeros and visas.
