One humidor at a time, by people who know cigars.

The Ortiz family originally purchased their plantation in 1830. San Andrés Tuxtla, located near the gulf basin in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, is the home of Mexico finest cigars and the center of Mexican cigar export business. The Valley, colder because of its altitude, is surrounded by hundreds of rivers and streams of fresh, cool water. A few volcanoes have given the soil the richness of high potassium, which nurtures plants. The thick and nearly flawless leaves grown on the Ortiz plantation and surrounding plantations are well known worldwide for becoming beautiful wrappers. Over the years the business grew and became one of the most respected farms in the region sparking new ventures for the family.

Jorge Ortiz Alverez began cigar production in the nearby town to his father’s plantation. They started with 2 workers in 1967 and by 1972 the company employed over 40 people. The brands Santa Clara Puros, Capa Flor and La Casta were a success. In 1983 a fire destroyed the successful cigar factory. Production resumed only two days after the fire. Due to drive and perseverance the business was saved. Over the years they have become popular brands across the world.

REAL SPANISH CEDAR INTERNALS

Not all wood is created equal. Spanish Cedar from the Cedrela Odorata tree lines the inside of all Cigar City Humidors. It’s more expensive, and difficult to obtain in China which is why most cheap humidors either don’t use it, can’t use it, or call it Spanish Cedar when it’s not. Spanish cedar is not only the best choice for helping regulate humidity, but it smells great and adds a mild cedar hint to cigars over time.

OKOUME (MAHOGANY’S SISTER) WOOD CONSTRUCTION

Cigar City Humidors use a thick layer of Okoume wood as our veneer, the same type and quality of wood that is common for guitar necks. It’s very similar in quality to Mahogany but lighter weight and softer. Okoume is the wood of the Okoume tree (Aucoumea klaineana), a species native to west-central Africa, in particular Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Congo.
