Introduction to The Circus
The Circus brand stems from a 2014 initiative by master blender Daniel Gurrero, the fruit of artisanal production at the El Viejo Continente factory in Nicaragua. With a rigorous selection of Nicaraguan tobacco, this series celebrates Cuban tailoring techniques and evokes, as its name suggests, the fascinating world of the circus.
The Vitoles of The Circus
Each The Circus vitola is named after key players in the brand's creation, representing not only an individual but also an aspect of the philosophy and approach behind each creation.
Magician - Grand Robusto
The "Magician" is a large-scale, typically grand robusto cigar, evoking the collective ingenuity of the entire Circus team. Sourced from Nicaragua's richly diverse terroir, this cigar is designed to offer a complete tasting experience, with elaborate notes and impeccable structure.
Harlequin - Robusto
The "Harlequin", in robusto format, represents resilience and the will to overcome obstacles. Made strictly from Nicaraguan tobacco, this cigar promises a reliable experience with consistent flavors and a rolling quality that testifies to the brand's commitment to tradition and excellence.
Twister - Figurado
The "Twister" is a figurado characterized by its atypical shape and technical know-how, embodying the expertise of master blenders. It's a cigar that requires special attention in its making, which is reflected in the complexity of its flavors and the elegance of its burn.
Canon - Gordo
Finally, the Gordo "Canon" is the apotheosis of the range, offering an explosion of flavors thanks to its greater volume, allowing for a bolder blend of tobaccos. The choice of these leaves, their ageing and blending demonstrate The Circus' commitment to providing a rewarding and memorable experience.
Tradition and Innovation
The Circus vitolas reflect the brand's commitment to traditional Cuban rolling methods, while taking an inventive approach. This fusion of old and new practices perfectly illustrates the ongoing evolution of cigar culture.
Cultural Impact
The cultural impact of The Circus cigars extends far beyond Nicaragua. They symbolize the growing influence of New World production methods on the perception and appreciation of quality cigars worldwide.
