Tobacco factories and cigar trade Andorra


The cultivation of real tobacco and its processing have been rooted in the traditions of Andorra since the 17th century. The former Reig de Sant Julia tobacco factory (Rafaelo house), very prosperous between 1900 and until its closure in 1957, has now become a museum of Andorra presenting the activity of the workers of the time. This high place of the principality traces the different stages of the manufacture of Andorran cigars, the planting, the carding with combs of the chopped tobacco then the mechanical dusting of the tobacco leaves. The arrival of the tobacco at the factory, the drying in the sun, the fermentation and the mixture of different tobacco leaves with natural flavors (essences of cedar and licorice for example).

The Andorran tobacco industry has replaced traditional tobacco farms. From now on, this Andorran tobacco and cigar industry is changing through the introduction of mainly imported raw materials and mechanization which replaces the manual labor of peasants. Notable cigarettes and cigars include brands like Dux, Gitanes Egipcio, Don Fernanado, El Conseller, la Nueva Madama and Carmela. Later, local industrialists forged business ties with large North American firms to produce the world famous cigar brands. These regional or limited edition cigars were only distributed in certain countries such as Andorra (Bolivar Short Cigar, Vegas Robaina Short Cigar)

The cultivation and the first operations carried out according to the origin of the plant are part of the daily life of the peasants before the arrival of Andorran tobacco at the factory. Once the tobacco is purchased and delivered to the factories, the workers take care of adding aromas during the fermentation process on wooden trellises.
Then, the workers prepare the leaf according to the methods of tobacco preparation. That is to say chopping, airing and roasting over an area of several hundred square meters.
Product development is divided into three parts:
- chopped tobacco bar
- cigars and cigarettes
- packets of scaferlati.

What is an Andorra regional edition cigar?


The mountain of Andorra, between France and Spain, is a territory producing high quality tobacco.
The terroir is a key element in the success of the cigar, as for a Cuban habano. The sowing of Andorran tobacco plants is the first stage, followed by the growth of the leaves and the harvest before the manufacture of Andorran cigars. The torcedor worker begins the artisanal manufacturing process by gathering all the raw materials and applying himself to the rolling.
