Coming in at #9 Cigar of the Year for 2025 is the Aging Room La Bohème Poeta. La Bohème was initially released in 2014 by Rafael Nodal under his Boutique Blends Cigars portfolio. La Bohème is the name of an opera composed by Giacomo Puccini, a favorite of Nodal's. It was a brand that was intended to bring together three passions of Nodal's: music, Cuban Culture, and, of course, his love of cigars. In 2017, things changed for Nodal. He would move distribution over to Altadis U.S.A. and join the Altadis team as Director of Product Capability (and later, Vice President). At the time this happened, some streamlining and reorganizing of the brands under Boutique Blends Cigars took place, and one line that was put on hold was La Bohème. Late in 2024 word came that La Bohème would indeed be making a comeback. This time branded as the Aging Room La Bohème, featuring a brand-new blend. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-yso

Coming in at #12 Cigar of the Year for 2025 is the Romeo Y Julieta 150th Anniversary Balconet by Altadis U.S.A. In 2025, Altadis U.S.A. had a lot to celebrate, marking 90 years of Montecristo and 150 years of Romeo y Julieta. To honor these significant milestones, the company planned to release special cigars, with the 150th Anniversary edition among the most notable Romeo y Julieta launches in over a decade. While Altadis U.S.A. itself isn't quite 150 years old, the Romeo y Julieta brand dates back to 1875 in Cuba. Altadis collaborates with various partners, and what makes the 150th Anniversary release particularly special is its tobacco. The selected tobaccos come from some of Altadis' key agricultural partners, including AJ Fernandez, José Mendez & Co., Plasencia S.A., and the Turrent family.

Earlier this year at the 2025 PCA Trade Show, Altadis unveiled a new ultra-premium cigar in their Montecristo line called M. What makes this special is a 20 year aged Ecuadorian Connecticut that is used for its wrapper. This special wrapper was acquired from David Perez of ASP in Nicaragua. The blend for the Montecristo M was developed by AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal using this wrapper at AJ's factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. Here is what Altadis had to say about the cigar: “Crafted by the legendary cigarmaker AJ Fernandez, the story of this smoke lies in a wrapper that has been carefully and beautifully aged for two decades. Aging a cigar's wrapper leaf, like a fine bourbon or wine, adds a tremendous amount of character and maturity to a smoke, heightening the tasting notes and taking the smoker on a journey far beyond what they have experienced from normal mass market offerings in the past. The Connecticut seed Ecuadorian leaf utilized for this project was cultivated and brought to life through the fifth-generation grower David Perez, resulting in a medium-bodied smoke that is uniquely proportioned to accentuate the subtle beauty of the wrapper.” Vitola: Toro Size: 6 x 52 Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A.

En la edición de hoy de Radar Empresarial abordamos la reciente designación de Pablo Isla como próximo presidente de Nestlé. Isla asumirá el cargo el 16 de abril de 2026, coincidiendo con la celebración de la junta general de accionistas, en sustitución de Paul Bulcke. Aunque no ocupará un puesto ejecutivo, Isla trabajará estrechamente con el actual director general, Laurent Freixe. Nestlé ha señalado que ambos conforman un equipo “altamente capacitado” para mantener el liderazgo de la empresa en los sectores de nutrición, salud y bienestar. Desde su incorporación al consejo de administración en 2018, Pablo Isla ha ido escalando posiciones dentro de la compañía suiza. En 2023 fue nombrado vicepresidente y consejero principal independiente. Ahora, como presidente, se espera que aporte su reconocida visión estratégica, la misma que llevó a Inditex a un crecimiento impresionante durante su etapa al frente. Nestlé atraviesa un momento sólido: en el primer trimestre del año superó las expectativas del mercado, con un aumento del 2,8% en sus ventas, impulsado principalmente por el alza en los precios del cacao y el café. Según el analista Gonzalo Lardiés, de Andbank, este nombramiento marca un cambio de rumbo en la estrategia corporativa del grupo. La carrera de Pablo Isla comenzó en el Banco Popular, aunque alcanzó gran notoriedad cuando en el año 2000 fue designado presidente de Altadis. Durante su gestión, el valor de la empresa aumentó en más de un 130%. Este éxito captó la atención de Amancio Ortega, quien en 2005 lo incorporó a Inditex como CEO. En 2011 Isla pasó a presidir la compañía, liderando un periodo de gran expansión. Cuando dejó la presidencia en 2021, Inditex había alcanzado beneficios récord. Su contribución fue tan valorada que recibió una compensación de 23 millones de euros para evitar su marcha a otras compañías. Tras su salida, fundó Fonte Films, su propia productora de cine, con la que ha desarrollado proyectos como La sombra de la tierra y el thriller Zeta, protagonizado por Mario Casas.

One of the bigger announcements heading into the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was Luciano Cigars entering into a joint partnership with Empresa Madeirense de Tabacos SA (EMT) to form Constella Group.  While both Luciano and EMT will be integrating operations, each will also keep their own identities. Co-Owner Luciano Meirelles has said Constella Group is like an umbrella company for various Luciano Cigars and EMT brands, much like Altadis and STG, which are holding companies for their brands. In addition, baseball great Adrian Gonzalez is coming in as a full partner in the Constella Group operation. Gonzalez also has a new cigar brand of his own called The Resilient. This is one of four new releases Constella brought into PCA 2025. We apologize in advance for some of the audio issues. We recommend you turn up your volume here to enjoy this great interview.

Aging Room is one of the brands featured by Altadis U.S.A. at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show.

Join Nick as he does a deep dive into Altadis USA. Altadis is home to some of the most popular cigar brands such as Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, and H. Upmann. In this episode, Nick talks about their history, products, and their place in the industry today.

The 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show saw Altadis U.S.A.'s Romeo y Julieta take center stage. Having covered the PCA Trade Show for 15 years, I can honestly say that I have never seen an exhibit quite like the one for Romeo y Julieta. Although Altadis U.S.A. was my "company" going into the Trade Show, I didn't expect to witness something at the level of Romeo y Julieta. Their exhibit was essentially a booth within a booth, showcasing the rich history of this iconic brand. The highlight of the event was the celebration of Romeo y Julieta's 150th anniversary, marked by a special cigar crafted for this significant milestone. This cigar features a unique blend of tobaccos from Altadis and its partners that has never been seen before. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-wrt

The year 2025 marks the 90th anniversary of the Montecristo brand, a milestone that coincides with the celebrations of its sibling brand, Romeo y Julieta.

Nonetheless, Montecristo will have its moment in the spotlight later in 2025. In the meantime, Montecristo isn't being overlooked.

Coming in at #14 on the 2024 Cigar Coop Cigar of the Year Countdown is the Trinidad Espiritu Series No 3 Toro by Altadis U.S.A.. Back in 2019, the Trinidad brand celebrated its 50th anniversary. Trinidad is a brand that traces its roots back to Cuba, but Altadis U.S.A. has owned the Trinidad brand in the U.S. for quite some time. For a while, the brand was almost dormant in the Altadis portfolio. That changed in 2019 when, coinciding with Trinidad's 50th anniversary, Altadis U.S.A. launched the Trinidad Espiritu Series. This would take a whole new spin on the Trinidad brand and essentially bring the brand back to life in the Altadis portfolio. Currently, there are three Trinidad Espiritu releases, with the Espiritu No. 3 being the latest in the series. Each installment pays homage to a different Latin American region—that also happens to be a cigar-producing region. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-uwC

Coming in at #17 on the 2024 Cigar Coop Cigar of the Year Countdown is the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante Toro by Altadis U.S.A. In 2020, Rafael Nodal and Altadis U.S.A. teamed up with AJ Fernandez to release a cigar commemorating 85 years of the Montecristo brand, the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua. The cigar proved to be both critically acclaimed and commercially successful for Altadis U.S.A., including landing #12 on the 2021 Countdown. Another blend was under consideration during the development of the original Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua. At that time, Nodal believed this blend had potential, but he felt the tobaccos required more aging. As a result, that blend was not used initially. Fast forward a little over three years, and that blend has transformed into the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-uts

This past year, Nodal introduced a new line, an offshoot of the Quattro Nicaragua line known as the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata. Like many Aging Room Cigars, the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata is inspired by Nodal's love of music. A Sonata is a classic music composition for an instrumental soloist, often accompanied by piano. After the success of the original Aging Room Nicaragua Quattro, Nodal decided he wanted to compose his own interpretation of a sonata, but in the form of a cigar.

Coming in at #9 is the Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro by Altadis U.S.A.. In 2021, Altadis U.S.A. introduced a new installment to its Montecristo brand under its Epic line – the Montecristo Epic Vintage 12. The Epic series focuses on using vintage tobaccos. In the case of the Montecristo Epic Vintage 12, the blend incorporates vintage tobacco from 2012 into the filler. This is a crop that Altadis U.S.A. has deemed exceptional. As for the blue name, it is the color that adorns the packaging and band of this cigar - and it's the first time this color has been used on the Montecristo brand. The Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Dominican binder and a combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. The Dominican component of the filler contains tobacco from 2012. The Toro size is a classic 6 x 52 offering. As for production, it originates from the famed Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic. It's a project that was developed by Rafael Nodal and Altadis' famed Grupo de Maestros team. As the name indicates, this cigar produced an epic experience - especially when it came to flavor. Notes delivered include coffee bean, natural tobacco, chocolate, earth, hay, and black pepper. It's a medium-strength and medium-bodied smoking experience. You can't underscore enough the job that Nodal has done as Altadis' Director of Product Capability. Whether its working with his own factories or outside ones, he is delivering some amazing cigars - and the Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro is no exception. The Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro joins the H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage Toro as cigars by Altadis U.S.A. that have placed on the 2022 Countdown. This is the seventh year Altadis has landed on a Cigar Coop Countdown. It also gives the Dominican Republic a fourth cigar on this year's Countdown. Full Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-ooV

Coming in at #13 is the H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage Toro by Altadis USA. When it comes to the H. Upmann brand, there is quite a strong track record both from a commercial and critical standpoint when Altadis' Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez join forces. This includes the H. Upmann Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez and the limited edition H. Upmann 175th Anniversary. Toward the end of 2021, came the word of another H. Upmann project with Nodal and Fernandez known as the H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage. The blend for the H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage is a combination of extra-aged tobaccos from Brazil and Nicaragua. This is highlighted by a Brazilian Mata Fina triple fermented wrapper over a Nicaraguan Habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Brazil. The Toro measures 54 x 6. The result is a cigar that is medium in strength and medium to full in body. The flavors shine in this blend as it delivers notes of coffee beans, stone fruit, cocoa, spicy cinnamon, and pepper. These flavors complement each other quite well. We all know Rafael Nodal's love of music, and the way these flavors play well together is reminiscent of how a symphony orchestra performs. For Altadis USA, this is the seventh year the company has placed a cigar on a Cigar Coop Countdown, including three years in a row. This is the latest cigar from Nicaragua to land on the Countdown. If you are following our reveal at home Nicaragua has been the dominant country thus far. With 18 cigars unveiled, this is the 13th cigar to land on the Countdown from that Central American country.
