The tobacco plants are harvested for cigars two to three times
yearly at Tabacalera Esteli. It takes about 80 to 90 days for a
tobacco plant to fully develop from a small seed into tall
plants ready for picking. The tobacco fields are planted with
seedlings a few weeks apart so that the harvest is spread out
throughout several months. This allows for careful and precise
supervision of the crop and the subsequent hand selecting and
picking of the leaves. Every step is carefully supervised to
make sure that the tobacco plants grow healthy. Learn More.
